Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
A highlight from BUILD CONFIDENCE - Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
"You cannot consistency. The person who does what they're supposed to do day after day, regardless of how they feel, is going to be the person who wins. The people who are the most successful in the real world, the people who wake up every day and work. If you're the person who wakes up, does work, is fantastic at it, but then takes three days off, you're going to lose. They say that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. And it's completely true. You have to be consistent. You have to decide, are you the kind of person who wants to make a lot of money in this life and live a life of freedom? Or are you the kind of person who wants to look back when he's 30 on his 20s or 40 on his 30s and look at that decade and go, what did I do with that decade? Well, I didn't get rich. I didn't travel the world and live like they do and take confidential. What did I do? Well, I had a day off here, a day off there, a bunch of nothing days amalgamated to this decade of nothingness. And you're just wasting your time. If you want to win, you need to be consistent. You don't need to be the smartest. Not at all, but you have to be the guy who's there day after day. And I guarantee you, I will guarantee you right now, IQ has nothing to do with how successful you are. What is going to determine how success you're going to be is, are you there every single day? Are you doing what you're supposed to do day after day? I can also apply this to sales. I knew guys who were terrible on the phone back in my day on sales. You start to call companies. I was smooth. I was the best. We have some other guys who are smooth that land the deal, go buy a nice car, whatever, take a few days off, take it easy. We had people who were terrible. When I say terrible, I mean, they had a thick Indian accent, didn't speak English that well, didn't know the script that well, didn't know the answers, but they were always in the top 20 percent of the company because they just hammered the phone. They just were on it. They needed to feed their family and bang with it. They didn't give a fuck. They were just calling. That's it. Day after day. When you're on lunch break, he's on the phone. You can win with hard work alone. That's what's amazing about the universe. And I say that God will give you anything you truly want. If you truly want money and you truly try hard and truly listen to us, you are going to have as much money as you can possibly have inside. But if you think you want money, but you kind of want something else, or you're arrogant or you're lazy, you're going to end up somewhere in the middle. If you're lucky and talented and you're not talented. Why on earth are you going to go through life and believe you're an unlucky individual? I don't see how that can benefit. Why would you think it's kind of crazy? Because I say this, the number one thing people don't have control of in their lives is their mind. But what's funny about that is the only thing in life you can truly control is your mind. Can't control other people. Can't control the world. Can't even control your health. Your heart might stop beating. You don't make it beat. It just goes. So it's going to turn off one day. The only thing you can control in your life is what you think in your mind. So if you're going to sit there and go, I'm sad. Well, you you can change that if you actually try, but you don't. You just accept it. Right. So people have lost control of their own minds. And I don't understand why you would allow your mind, your own mind, to take power from you. Why would you believe in your let your own mind convince you? You're not a lucky person or I'm not this or I'm not confident. Why would you let your own mind sabotage you? Why wouldn't you reprogram your own mind to be on your team? Should be your ally. Right. Like I don't ever feel like I'm satisfied. I never like won the world title. Yes, I'm the champ now. It's just like, OK, next, next, next. I was kind of always like that. You know, what's amazing? Lots of now I have money. Lots of people always ask me, how do I get rich? And I say, when's the last time you've talked about money? When's the last time you sat down with your friends and refused to talk about anything else but how to make money? How are you making money? How are you making money? How am I making money? How can we make money together? How's that guy making money? How's that coffee shop there making money? Is that coffee shop making money? I don't know. Do they sell cake? No, why don't they sell cake? Everyone in here is a businessman. If they had a cute young waitress, a girl instead of a guy, they'd probably sell more coffee. Like no one analyzes anything. They just want to get rich. Right. I want to be rich, but they have no plan to get rich. And a hope and a plan are very different things. I explain this to people all the time. Everyone has a dream, but no one has a plan. And nothing good is going to happen on accident. Right. I didn't become world champion on accident. I didn't wake up and someone go, how did you become world champion? I went, oops, you have to plan for it. So a lot of them, the male instinct to conquer Earth is financial. I think this is why men work so hard is why men are so obsessed with money. Or they should be. They absolutely should be obsessed with money. Some men are born with something else inside of the fire inside of them, which cannot be extinguished by beans on toast, TV at night, nine to five, sitting around with a wife. I know me as an individual. I could not be satisfied with that. That doesn't mean I look down on the people who are absolutely congratulations. But my time on the planet, I guarantee will be more eventful. I will die with more stories. I would have made a bigger ripple in space time because I refuse to comply with just the average. This is OK. You'll be happy with this. Take it. There's always been that class of person even since the dawn of time. There's been the normal guy and then there's been the dude who insists on conquering the world. There's been Napoleon who says, no, fuck you. I'm taking this and this and this. It depends what you're born with. Right. I think a man should have absolutely no interest in whether he's actually happy or not. If I wake up and I'm unhappy, I will do the exact same things as if I am happy. I will go to the gym the same. I will work the same. How I feel has no impact on how I live my life. I don't think happiness as an index is a healthy view for a man to have on life success. Women are different. Women just want to be happy, right? Women just want to smile. They don't care how. They don't care if they deserve it or not. As long as they get to smile, women are happy. That's women. But I think for a man, if you're waking up and going, oh, am I happy? Am I not? You're looking at life wrong. I think of a man, if you put happiness far, if you move it down the scale, right, and you start looking at am I, am I successful, am I competent, you know, am I achieving things? Am I respected? If you start to look at these indicators of your life, you're going to end up being happier without actually analyzing if you're happy or not. So for me, I understood very, very well that half a million dollars a month is good, but a million dollars a month is better. And I also very, very much understood that as soon as you stop pushing forward, as soon as you go stagnant, you're dying, right? As soon as you stay in one place, you're slowly on the way down, right? If you were to if you're if your podcast, if your channel now were to stagninate in views, you'd be worried. That's effectively dying. It has to grow at all times. So every business has to work. So for me, I was under enormous pressure. I didn't think, oh, I have plenty of money now. It was a complete opposite. I wanted to work harder, more hours. I found the tap.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Fresh update on "napoleon" discussed on The Charlie Kirk Show
"Bob Menendez is stepping down as his chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. Because of the indictment, he's going to have to fight that is this guy is such a criminal, he's such a traitor to the United States. It's very similar to Joe Biden. You know, Joe Biden sells out the country. It's just that Bob Menendez was sloppier than Joe Biden. What's really going on here is that 930 is coming into sight and a government shutdown is looming. The administrative state, the insiders, the fourth branch of government. They're getting a little nervous that some of their funding might be put in jeopardy. So you have to ask the question, why do they unseal the indictment against Bob Menendez now? Now, the kind of normie argument is, oh, Charlie, timing means nothing and it's just the way it is. No, no, no, there's there's more to the story here. They're trying to put the senators on notice in the U.S. Senate. If you question us, if you even as much as cut a half of a penny of our money, you might be next. Because you better believe that Bob Menendez is definitely the most. I don't want to say the most corrupt, but he's just a sloppy, bribe accepting traitor. This guy's not very sophisticated. But think about other senators that might be doing deals via their son or deals via their cousin or deals via the uncle, very similar to how Joe Biden configured many of these ideas. The fourth branch of government. Is doing this publicly. Is doing this before the continuing resolution funding fight is resolved because they want to remind you who is in charge, and that includes Democrats. If you do not get right in line and parrot the talking points of the intelligence agencies. Then the sword of Damocles could fall on your head. If you study Joseph Stalin, Stalin was a maniac, but how was Stalin able to hold on to power for so long? First of all, Stalin had fifty thousand bodyguards. He was a paranoid maniac. We don't talk enough about Stalin being actually a seminary student early in his life, understanding the Bible, then becoming a committed atheist. That's really sick when you think about it. A guy that studied the scriptures for years and then becomes. Someone who worships at the altar of the state, if that's not demonic, I don't know what is Stalin responsible for almost more murders than any other human being in the history of the planet, maybe Mao and him are tied. It's unknown how many people. The intentional starvation of people, the intentional massacring, the gulags, all that. Stalin did several purges to eradicate enemies of the working class, going after the kulaks, the property owners, going after the dissidents, going after the comedians. Sound familiar? Stalin needed to keep people on their toes, and Stalin said, hey, if you even as much mention the famine and that's exactly what's happening on the border. It's so Soviet, there's no problem on the border. It's exactly like what Pravda would publish in 1934 Russia. There's no famine. It's a bountiful harvest. There's never been a year as great as 1934. Stalin also did another thing is he would randomly, without any sort of reason, pick someone that has been effective, loyal, and close to him and kill him. He did this arbitrarily as a message to everyone else that you could be next. One of the most famous of these, it's a man by the name of General Tukhachevsky. General Tukhachevsky was a very, very loyal Stalin general. In fact, he had the nickname as being called Red Napoleon. He was prominent for 20 years. He was a military officer. He ran one of Stalin's military academies. He was chief of staff for the Red Army for three years. Major proponent for the Soviet military, one of Stalin's closest confidants. He and Stalin would vacation together and they were loyal. He did nothing wrong by any objective measurement. But between 1936 and 1934, Stalin wanted to send a message. And the message was that no one is off limits, that I get to decide who lives. I get to decide. And General Tukhachevsky was killed in the Soviet show trials between 1936 and 1938. And the administrative state operates exactly the same. And fear is an effective tool to control people, including the other 99 US senators. Listen, as students begin heading back to school, do you think they'll be learning about the founding principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in history? Will they learn that our unalienable rights are God given and not granted by government? Will they be given a full and honest account of our nation's history? The answer to all these questions is yes for students at Hillsdale College. And these days, in addition to teaching college students, Hillsdale has extended its teaching to K through 12 students and lifelong learners like you and me. If you're not doing so already, one of the best ways to start learning from my friends at Hillsdale is through In Primus, Hillsdale's free digest of liberty. My listeners can sign up for free at the special website, which is available for a limited time. It's at charlie4hillsdale.com. I look forward to In Primus each month and you can too. It's interesting, useful and free. The best and smartest in conservative constitutionalist thought. Find out more about Hillsdale and In Primus at charlie4hillsdale.com.

Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
A highlight from IT'S TIME TO CHANGE - Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
"How to become the best versions of yourself, because manhood is exceptionally hard and life is hard. But how you shape yourself will determine how hard it is for you and how miserable it will be. I want everybody here who's watching this, I consider this a matter of social responsibility. I want you to pull up a chair and eliminate all the distractions because I'm going to speak to each and every one of you as if you were my son or a student or someone I'm trying to mentor. I'm going to imagine that all of you know nothing. We're talking from the complete ground. I've said this many times in many different iterations on different podcasts, but I want to repeat it again. As a man, there is no easy life. If you're looking for an easy life, you should have been a girl. You made a mistake. Your life is not about being easy. Your life is not about being happy. Your life is always going to be difficult. All of the pain you feel, all of the sadness you feel, you're supposed to feel as a man and you have two effective binary choices. You either go through the suffering and go through the trauma and go through the hardship it takes to be a man of value or you suffer eternity as a nobody. And being invisible, I would argue, is almost worse. You can have a very stress -free life if you work in Starbucks. You don't care about the Starbucks once you clock off. You're not at work at the time. You go home, you play video games and you exist until you die. That's stress -free, but you have to suffer being a nobody. Alternatively, you can go out there into the world, try and implement your mark on the world, work hard, try to get rich, more money, more problems. You can try and start a business, the stress of that. You can lose your girlfriend because all you're doing is working. This is a new level of stress, a new level of trauma, but at least you'll be a somebody at the end of it. There's two ways to suffer. You either suffer as becoming a somebody or you suffer as a perpetual and forever nobody. What did Napoleon say? He said, glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. Absolutely. Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. And when he says fleeting, that's a really good point because everything in life is rented, especially your glory as a man. When you have a good body, it is not a good body as complete. It's not finished. You haven't completed the task. You have rented that good physical condition. You must train every day to retain it. So everything is rented your body. You don't just get a good body and you're done. You still have to go to the gym every day to maintain that good body. You don't just get a hot girl and it's done. You still have to work hard for her to always love you and respect you. You don't just start a business and now you're rich. No, you have to start a business and work on that business every day. If you take your eye off the business, it will fail. Everything in life is rented. So when he says glory is fleeting, he's also absolutely not the correct because glory is fleeting and you have to constantly and endlessly work for it and make sure that you never stop. Otherwise it will be taken from you. But obscurity is forever. If you never make a mark on the world, then you effectively never existed. And when you're gone, nobody will care. The reason our father is discussed at length is because of who me and Tristan are. And the reason we will be discussed forever is because who our sons will become. And that's very important because you have a duty to your ancestors and you have a duty to God. So you must make a choice. And this is genuine choice to you people at home. Do you want to live in obscurity forever and be invisible and not matter and have an easier life? I would argue that it's not easier because in your heart and in your soul you're going to feel guilty knowing you could have been something you're not and you have a duty to your ancestors and to God to be the best version of yourself. Or do you want to try your absolute best and struggle and suffer every day of your life paying the rent for all of the amazing things around you? We pay endless rent. We pay rent for our bodies. We pay rent for our relationships. We pay rent to keep our kids. We pay rent to keep our business. We pay rent to keep our freedom. Every single day is work to pay the rent. It's absolutely never -ending and you have to make that choice. So if you have a pen and paper in front of you, you need to decide do you want to be invisible with a lower rent bill or do you want to be important and work hard and suffer to make sure that the rent is paid. It's a choice you must make and it's binary and you must be extremely dedicated towards the decision you finally make.

Eastern every morning to become part of the conversation yourself. Thanks again. We look forward to bringing you the best Bitcoin content daily here on the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast. All right. So that's the first time I played that, I think, for one of the live shows. Volume OK? Volume was pretty good, Alex. It had a couple of dips, but overall, it hit good. All right. Cool, cool. Good morning, everybody. Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners, Dom Bay, Mickey, Tomer. Good morning. I haven't seen you in a little while. How are you? How are you doing? I'm doing good. Yeah, it's nice to connect again. You were on vacation. I was on I don't know, I wasn't on vacation, but I was doing some stuff that was keeping me quite busy and a little bit away from the show. But and maybe you weren't on vacation, but you were away. Who knows? Nice to hear your voice again. Nice to be in dialogue. Let's see where today takes us. Yeah, I mean, officially it was classified as vacation. But the reality is I was busy as hell, but whatever. All good. Good morning, Peter. How are you doing? Good morning. I'm having a great morning. I've had a great week and unfortunately I won't be around. Well, I might be around tomorrow and Friday, but I doubt it because I'm taking my motorcycle and heading up into the mountains. That's awesome. Elaborate. Elaborate. Let's see, I'm driving east of the Cascades to a city called Chelan, and from there I'm going to we're going to I'm going to spend the night there with a friend. And then tomorrow we're going to head up into the we take a series of dirt roads called the Washington BDR, which is the back road discovery route. It's about 100 miles of dirt roads to the next town, which is Wenatchee. And then the next day we do the same thing to Ellensburg. And the next day after that, we do the same thing to a town called Natchez and then I'll head home. So 300 miles or so on dirt roads should be should be fun on the on the behemoth that I drive. I don't know why I have to have the biggest enduro in the universe, but apparently I've got Napoleon syndrome. I just hear in the background, I was the highwayman along the coach roads I did ride. Nicely done. Alex, you got a response to that? I actually I do. There is some nonsense that we have to get out of the way, so we might as well do that now. By the way, good morning and welcome to everyone. You're listening to Cafe Bitcoin episode 428. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise and chase the other seven billing people on this planet why there's hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. And for the nonsense, here we go. Crowds are coming by the dozens to get an up close view at what some say is a piece of Irish folklore, a leprechaun. I don't want to know what I don't want to go in here to go back home. Sorry, I had to remove Alex from the stage for playing that song, but we'll let him back up. What was Alex up to the last two weeks? I think you got booted, bro. Jerk, I think that counts. I'm pretty sure it counts. Some of you motherfuckers out there owe me five million sets. Let's go pay up. Oh, that's fucking awesome, dude. That's amazing. Oh, that's the funniest fucking thing I've seen in a long time. All right, that took me to get the co -host back. Some of you might be highly confused by this. Just just ignore it. Pretend it didn't happen. For those of you who know, you know, somebody owes me five million sets. Let's go. I'll expect payment by the end of the day. Thank you. You need to publish an address, then I'll wait for them to reach out to me. All right, that's good. Well, congratulations. Don't spend it all in one place. Thanks, man. If they pay, I doubt they're going to pay. They're going to come up with some weasel way to say, we don't know you because you didn't follow the rules because of whatever. I don't give a shit. Yeah, you didn't read the fine print. It said the temperature had to be 85 exactly. Hold on. The best part is, is that you played the game. I mean, come on. That's all you can do, right? At some point, you just got to bow down and play the game. I am bound on a nobody. Fuck that. Good morning, Matt C. How you doing? Hey, all doing well. It's nice to be back from summer vacay. Hope everyone had a happy Labor Day and excited for the fall. It's been good. It's been good. What have you been doing in this sideways crabby kind of market, Matt? Just laughing at how predictable this, let's just call it the fourth quarter before the halving always is. Every single cycle, the weirdest FUD comes out and it's the too long, didn't read it is basically what if the Bitcoin halving somehow breaks BTC every single cycle, new cycle, same FUD. It's just a different reiteration. It boggles my mind just how exact history repeats every four years. But I mean, what are you going to do? Mickey, good morning. What's up? Yeah, so it's like it's kind of like that mining death spiral story that pops up every four years. And I think it just illustrates how little these shit coiners really understand about Bitcoin, because because they get, you know, I get my buddy, I talk about him every once in a while, but he loves ETH, you know, and he'll talk shit to me. But every once in a while, he'll text me with just like the most insanely basic question about Bitcoin. And it's like, oh, dude, I thought you were like the crypto expert. I thought you were Bitcoin. I thought you understood everything, but they don't. They're just fed these these narratives from these influencers who are sort of obviously grifting to most of us. But yeah, it's just it's just dumb shit. So, I mean, the minor death spiral is pretty easily fixed by a couple of difficulty adjustments. And then, boom, the day is saved. It's not even it's not even that it's so this is the perfect place to talk about this because you can't explain it in a tweet or two. But what we're watching is the most competitive race of accruing hashrate, increasing your efficiency and putting your competition out of business. You you you're right. You might have the weaker miners that go out of business after the twenty twenty four, but you have the big players that have never been more profitable today. Names that you know of, like Riot, Marathon. These guys are sitting on 60, 70, 80 percent margins today. And you ask, like, well, how is that possible? It's because they keep slamming on the latest and greatest Bitcoin miners that are twice as more powerful and efficient and profit generating as the previous generation. So you're literally putting your competition out of business. You don't have to hire tons of new people or more administrative costs just for putting a couple more computers online. Your only your only impediment is energy costs. But these smart players, they they set their deals in terms of years, three years, five years. And if they're in Texas, they get energy credits just for shutting off. So it's such a it's a nuanced, complex conversation. And you're right, like grifters, crypto influencers, they prey on that FUD, that fear that a new person just doesn't understand. Like, well, I read that if Bitcoin doesn't hit 50K by having all the miners are going to, you know, go bankrupt, it's like that's so there's so much wrong with that and it's impossible to explain in just one tweet. Tomer, do you have any thoughts here? Is there a lot of that FUD going around more than usual or are we more sensitive to the relatively same amount of it that's going around because it's kind of a bear market and it's dull and and the halving is indeed coming up. So we're taking it a little more seriously. I don't actually know. I'm I'm a little bit surprised to hear this because I would say it's hard to put your finger on the timing because you forget, but all this talk of security budget and whatnot seemed like it was a conversation that was maybe at the beginning of this year, if my memory serves correctly, and then it kind of went away because the Bitcoin price went up and the fees went up to use Bitcoin. So it suddenly seemed like the security budget, which is made up, fallacious concept, went away. But it sounds like it's coming back. I think there's always there's always a lot of confusion about Bitcoin and there may always be, but certainly because it's so new, because so few people understand how it works, because it's got so short a history. There are people who are going to try to take advantage of that by intentionally spreading false information. There are people who are going to be honestly mistaken and honestly confused and have pretty rational sounding arguments for why they genuinely believe something is is wrong with Bitcoin. And the only thing that proves them wrong is that Bitcoin keeps functioning exactly as designed. And I think this is really this kind of gets me going on where the whole altcoin space always comes from. All these forks of Bitcoin, the overwhelming majority of altcoins are just copy paste code of Bitcoin and change a few variables and see where it goes. Or they've gotten a little bit more sophisticated since because all of those have died out. But it's really like, why bother? What what's your hypothesis as to what's wrong with Bitcoin that needs to be fixed, especially if Bitcoin is offering itself, presenting itself as money? I think other coins came into existence and tried to offer different things, but wouldn't let go of the fact that like, oh, and we're also money like Bitcoin. And they weren't money like Bitcoin. So they they ended up suffering from this tremendous identity crisis, which still devours them. But I'm kind of going off on a few different tangents. Happy to pick up anywhere without trying to confuse the conversation too much. I see lots of hands up.
CoinDesk Podcast Network
A highlight from THE HASH: FTX Wants Galaxy to Manage its Crypto Billions; 'Napoleon Dynamite' Star Jon Heder's Journey to World of Web3
"Hey there, welcome to The Hash here on CoinDesk TV and the CoinDesk Podcast Network. I'm Zach Seward. That's Jen Sanasi and that is also Will Foxley. We're your hosts today and we are here to get you up to speed on all that's going on in the world of crypto news. I think I'm starting us off with an update on the FTX bankruptcy proceeding. Let's do this thing. So FTX has tapped Galaxy, formerly Galaxy Digital, to sell, stake and hedge its crypto billions. This is a major development for the bankrupt exchange as it looks to get back on its feet and also return value to its many stakeholders. Let's talk about this one and then we got another little quick story that we can get to here. FTX tapping Galaxy, interesting. Galaxy, obviously the merchant bank helmed by Mike Novogratz, very prominent in the space with a number of different arms, touching ventures, touching trading, touching all sorts of things. Going to throw this to you Will, reading between the lines here, what do you think is going on with this headline? Yeah, I think there's just like a lot of cash that the FTX estate needs to get working for the creditors. I mean, they even talked a few weeks ago about how the FTX estate has not moved forward with putting a lot of the treasury into UST bonds, which would make about 4 % to 5%. That'd be pretty awesome for the billions that they're sitting on top of and they declined to do that because it's another risk factor. But maybe they can't take these crypto assets and give them to someone else to do staking operations or something that's more native to cryptocurrency itself. And they can't do it right now with like the technology they have in hand because FTX itself has shut down and perhaps it never really existed in the first place. But Galaxy Digital certainly can do it, so they're going to hand it off. My question here is like, how much is Galaxy Digital going to charge for this? I'm sure it's not cheap. As we'll get into for the next story here in a second, the FTX estate has not held its hand from spending money from its vast treasury. As of right now, they're spending about $1 .5 million per day. So I could see Galaxy Digital making quite a bit of money on top of this. I just think that speaks to Galaxy Digital's strengths, right? They have so many different arms out there. They're really crypto merchant bankers, but they've kind of been called. They have staking, they have trading, they have a research team, they have so much going on over there. So it makes sense for them to be tapped for this role. Yeah, you said pretty much everything I was going to say. The article says that John Jay Ray III is worried that selling all in one go could cause the price to plummet. So there has to be a strategy here. I think that Galaxy Digital is probably the right entity to tap in. If we think back to that story we talked about a few weeks ago now, there's this tension building between the creditors committee and all of the lawyers and executives that are trying to tie up FTX as a state. The creditors committee is saying, hey, you're spending $1 .5 million a day. It's equating to about $50 million a month. And then we have all of these assets that are just sitting around and doing nothing for us. I think this is one step in the right direction, maybe came out of that tension between the creditors committee and John Jay Ray and his team of lawyers and executives. And so I think this is a good step, but that $1 .5 million is such a big number to swallow. I just wonder at the end of all of this, once everything is balanced out, how much will be left for the creditors. But unfortunately, this is just the way that bankruptcies go. Zach, what did you make of the numbers we saw in this? Yeah, Jen just front ran that next headline. Let's see the headline guys, $1 .5 million a day, $50 million a month, $200 million. It's very expensive, this mega confusing and complex bankruptcy case. And yeah, it's absolutely a point of contention for people who are looking to get as much on the dollar back as possible. If you see a legal team that's burning through these types of expenses, and you're just a small holder looking to get your cents on the dollar, it's very frustrating. So I think this is certainly a point of contention, as we see, again, this war of words between the competing parties in this long and protracted bankruptcy case. Those are my thoughts. So that's kind of the high level of this other development with the FTX bankruptcy story, although it's a will for any additional thoughts that you might have. Yeah, I don't have much besides that. Like I'm not an expert on Chapter 11 estates, and I guess I don't have a reference for how much they should be spending. It seems like too much, and like the creditors definitely think it's too much, and they've made a lot of appeals to both the estate and then all the governing parties are overlooking the sell of these assets and saying like, hey, you guys need to back off, you guys need to like feel tired with these things, because every dollar that is not spent on legal stuff should be going back to the creditors of the FTX estate. That seems to be falling on deaf ears. Again, that $1 .5 million per day is pretty astounding. At the same time, you're looking at like the amount of credit that needs to be unwound, the amount of debt that needs to be unwound, the amount of just different various deals and fake or real business entities that need to be understood. There's a lot of work ahead of these people. So at some level, it does make sense and good lawyers, good CPAs, they'd be expensive. Yeah, another sort of like corresponding development is that like SPF, right, who's in jail, he had been granted unlimited access to his lawyers ahead of the October 3rd hearing, stressing the need for being able to prepare for this case and look through troves of documents relating to this thing. So this is the dribs and drabs of the legal process as it relates to the most spectacular implosion in crypto history. And you know, I feel sympathy with Wendy who on the show yesterday said, I just don't care. There's a lot of stuff going on a lot of procedural stuff. But it all adds up to just the mounting tension and excitement, or what will surely be the trial of the century as it relates to the crypto industry. So pretty wild, but I'll toss it to Jen. Yeah, I just want to add to that story you just brought up there, Zach SPF is now allowed to be visited by his lawyers an unlimited amount of time while he's in jail. That is, of course, after he requested to be allowed to leave jail five days a week to meet with his lawyers in their Manhattan offices. That was declined, but his lawyers can visit him. But that's not anything new. Lawyers should usually be able to visit their clients during visiting hours for as long as they want and for as many times as they want. We had a lawyer on first mover this morning who said the issue is that often the prisons have there are some barriers with dealing with the prisons and actually getting access to clients from lawyers. And so the reason that the judge said this is so that if there are any issues, the lawyers will be able to go back to the judge and get some kind of document saying that they are able to access SPF. So just a lot of legal stuff happening here, but nothing here is out of the ordinary. Okay, let's move over to tornado cash land. I want to see you guys something Zach. Legal stuff. I just want to sing. Legal stuff. So much legal stuff. All right, let's get to a more serious topic. Let's talk about tornado cash. Yesterday, the Department of Justice charged two tornado cash developers with helping hackers launder $1 billion including infamous North Korean Lazarus Group, Roman Semenov, and Roman Storms were both charged yesterday by the Department of Justice with Storms being arrested. There's still allegations out for Semenov. This $1 billion number just goes back to how much tornado cash application in which they both helped co -found has moved over the various years since its launch in 2019 and then its relaunch in 2020. The hardest case is a debate over privacy and crypto. Can you move funds back and forth on one of these applications that swapped your crypto with another participant and sort of breaks the trail of where your crypto has been in the past? The Department of Justice thinks not and it's coming after the developers for the people who made this. Of course, Alex Percefi or, excuse me, Pertsev was another developer for this application and he has been in jail in the Netherlands since last year. And of course, those charges were similar, money laundering and assisting to launder money. Jen, I'll throw the story over to you. Get your take on it. I'm going to request a fact check from our producers here. I believe he was let out of jail in April. He's awaiting trial now, but we will wait. I think you're right. It was. Stay tuned. Well, I think, okay, I think that this story is incredibly important for anyone who works in this industry to watch. Like the issue at the core of this is a huge one for anyone who works in DeFi, anyone who deals with DAOs. I think last week we had a judge say that tornado DAOs should be seen as an entity. And so anyone working in the industry, any developer who's working with a DAO or DeFi product, I think should be watching this very closely because this is going to set precedent on whether if you are building something that is used by a bad guy to commit an alleged crime somewhere, you may be held liable. And it just really blows my mind every time I see a headline come out of this. I think the fact that it's attached to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus that I think we speak about on this show at least twice a week really kind of like makes it important for regulators and law enforcement and lawmakers to come down on tornado cash. But I think it's really important to highlight that, yes, bad guys use this platform, but also a lot of good guys use it. And Zach, I know that you're probably going to elaborate on that because you really drive that notion home every time we talk about this. So I'm going to pass this off to you now. Pass it off to me. Yeah, the DOJ here is saying, hey, just because you made this tool that can be that is a neutral platform for good and bad doesn't mean you can escape liability when bad happens. Right. And that's a really significant blow to the crypto space, right? People who are making these immutable smart contracts that are often used by people doing less than good things, right? So it is, I think, going to be a core tenet of the US legal system's approach to crypto enforcement going forward. Hey, just because you did this and put it out in the world doesn't absolve you from future actions that take place. And again, we're talking about North Korean hackers, we're talking about funding nuclear weapons development. This is big stuff that the government takes very seriously and kind of, again, goes to those big geopolitical issues that we were talking about yesterday as it relates to the future of crypto kind of unfolding here. Jen, I think I saw your hand. That could have been... Just back up. No, I wasn't drafting an itch. I had it up. That same criminal defense lawyer that was on First Movement this morning I referenced in our first segment said that the DOJ will have to prove intent here and he will have to prove that they knowingly facilitated these crimes for these hackers. And so it will be interesting to see what kind of arguments are used and what kind of evidence they have against the developers to prove that they knowingly facilitated these crimes. And so I think it will be a good one to watch. Will, any last thoughts here? Okay, I got factored myself. So Alexei was let go of prison or removed from prison a few months ago. He doesn't have to wear an ankle monitor. Of course, he's facing similar charges that both Romans here in those cases are also facing as of now. Just OFAC coming down on everybody who is attempting to help them, quote unquote, wander money. I think like the DACA is still out in that. These are still allegations that have to be proven in court, but definitely a negative look for, I think, privacy when it relates to cryptocurrency.
Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from Real Estate Agents Complete Door Knocking Guide (Part 4)
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. We are back. And actually we are picking up where we left off a week ago when we were talking about door knocking. And I have to say, Julie, the door knocking podcast series that you wrote has become one of our biggest downloaded and listened to podcasts. And now it's quickly becoming one of our biggest downloaded and viewed YouTube videos, which it is something door knocking and learning how to be a proactively generator is definitely something that everyone wants to know how to do, needs to know how to do, because really a lot of the passive lead generation stuff from social and from buying leads, it's had its day in the sun, all these passive ideas and as the economy changes, as the housing market changes, people are realizing they are going to have to actually get off their dust and learn how to be proactively generators and had to have real meaningful conversations with real estate perspective, real estate clients. And in doing so, and I know you're reading this as well from our people who email us and text us and all the rest of it, they're having more expensive, more expensive, right? They're having more success from that experience faster than they thought. They that they had no clue, frankly, that they're going to be able to generate so many leads so quick. Yes, absolutely. And here's the thing. This doesn't cost you anything. Right. And at the same time, there's so many added benefits. For example, of course, your skills are going to increase your ability to have really great, valuable conversations about real estate. That's going to get better and better with every conversation you have. Of course, we all know that most real estate transactions do indeed come from a face to face conversation about real estate. Most people will choose to work with the first person they talk to about their situation. Your job is to be that person. And another great byproduct of this, Tim, is that it creates a lot of lead follow up for these guys where also you have a high likelihood of setting your next appointments from. But, you know, really, all those things are the practical, tactical reasons you want to, you know, door knock or do any kind of proactive lead generation. But I'll say the biggest psychological mindset reason why is because a lot of agents right now, most agents right now are looking for a sense of direction. They feel the markets change. I mean, really, I don't know. Did I tell you this, Jules? They're originally they were expecting there to be five point five million home sales this year. And now they're actually projecting. I believe it's NAR that's projecting now it's only five million home sales. So five hundred thousand fewer home sales. But that's actually a million home sales fewer than last year or something like that. So you're talking about a very significant number of real estate agents who won't be doing real estate transactions at all. And a lot of the agents who are listening to us right now and are in the business have only been in real estate, frankly, for the last five years or less. And if you've not sold real estate for more than really 15 years, you've not sold real estate during a transitioning market, you're at an advantage and you're at a disadvantage. And the disadvantage is, you know, or the advantage is you don't have the battle scars, you know, so you don't have the bad memories of what that market's like. But the disadvantage is, is you don't know how different things really can be and how quickly they can change. And if you've been in real estate only in the really the last five or even 10 years, you've come up during a very sort of bizarre time in the real estate industry because there's been this advent of all this lead buying and team building and branding and marketing. These things really have hit their peak. Why? Because there was so much money that was in real estate, so many agents looking to spend money, so many agents not really understanding how to decide what they should spend their money on, if they should spend their money at all on anything. And so as a result, that's brought in a lot of these businesses that were venture funded. And, you know, I don't want to bore all of you, but the moral of the story is a lot of those businesses are washing out a lot of these ideas that never really worked in real estate, even in the best of times, are really going to prove out not to work certainly in a changing market like we're experiencing now. That's the reason every single one of you need to accept the fact that we're in a new market. And that's fantastic. There's going to be fewer transactions in most of the country. And that's actually not a bad thing either when you take into consideration that your biggest competitor, for the most part, isn't the seasoned grizzled veteran. Your biggest competitor is the other agent who just got their license or maybe the other agent who the seller might know because their kids played together or just some social connection. But as those types of agents who aren't really serious about the business get out of the business, the ones that have skills are actually they're absolutely going to clean up. That's the reason that during a market shift like this, you always see. Well, you see one or two things. You see new kings crowned, new queens crowned in the marketplaces. Those are the agents that were able to adapt to the new market, learn the new skills. They didn't wait around for the market to change back the way it was. They said, this is what it is. I'm going to make the most of it. And then sometimes you also see the agents who are at the top of the market, who are the actual dominant agents. They actually start to get more market share. So you could. But here's where it's interesting. It's fascinating. I have to be careful saying this because it offends some people, but it's still true. A lot of what happens in a market like this are the dug in grizzled teams and brokers refuse to change. They still try to carry their old way of thinking and their old expense structure into this new market. And when they do that and the new market essentially doesn't allow them to, frankly, make it work cash flow wise, they go out of business and they have to hit a hard reset on their personal and business lives. I'll suggest if you're in that bucket, if you're in that bracket, if you're realizing that you're essentially trying to model your business after something that worked in the past market, you need to take a seriously hard look at adapting very quickly to the new realities. Otherwise, frankly, you're going to most likely suffer needlessly. Don't wait to learn what I just said is true. Get ahead of whatever is going to happen next, because, guys, a million fewer transactions is a million fewer transactions. That's a lot of transactions that are leaving the marketplace. And a lot of you, again, have been buying your business and the quality of the leads. Have you noticed the quality, especially the buyer leads has really gone to pot? Well, that's just going to get worse as well. So please, please, please, please don't wait to experience hardship to realize what I'm telling you is true. Take action on all that now. So we're going to get back to door knocking. And this is the last part of our four part series. So, Julie, point number 13. Yes, part four point number 13 post on social media, especially on YouTube, a video of you starting to prospect a specific neighborhood. This should be you in front of the neighborhood sign or something recognizable about where you are. Share some fast facts and explain that you'll be there this afternoon, connecting with all of the neighbors and answering any real estate questions. Give your mobile number posted on all of your social media. And of course, you can refer to our podcast series about how to utilize videos for real estate agents. Now, let's I'm going to talk real briefly about this. First of all, YouTube is now migrating towards trying to be a little tick tocky. And so is Instagram. In other words, it's starting to give more priority to short videos, which is perfect because short videos don't have to be really produced at a high level. It's great. And what Julie just said, why are we telling you to do this? Because what's going to happen is as you're door knocking and getting to know the neighbors and essentially building your centers of influence and past clients, they're most likely going to do a little bit of googling on you to find out what your your story is. And so if you created a lot of these little short snippet, you know, tick tock type videos and they're on Instagram, they're on YouTube and maybe even on tick tock, what's going to happen is those search results will come up and they're going to see your very proactive in the community. You get it? So all we're trying to do is use the social to reinforce, use the passive, the social media to reinforce the proactive, which is you door knocking. That is closing the loop. That's creating a Web. Now, there is a way to do these videos. And Julie gave you some ideas. We also include in our premier coaching, which is free for all of you, a 12 month social media marketing plan. It's something a lot of you, frankly, are struggling with because you don't know what to talk about, what to do. And we give you a lot of great ideas, kind of model out your entire year what you should be doing. I just gave you some ideas right there. If you want to join premier coaching for free, you heard that right. For free, simply text the word premier to four seven three seven two. Text the word premier to four seven three seven two. Or you can always go to members dot Tim and Julie Harris dot com if you don't want to text or if you're outside of the continental United States.

A lot of the things that we talk about on this podcast you get for free. So don't wait on this. This is a perfect time of year for you to be getting your skills 100 percent in alignment with this new market. So text the word premier to four seven three seven two. Remember, when texting message and data rates may apply. Yes. So back to point number 13, just for a second. So let's say that you went door knocking today in Oak Creek. You talked about it. You gave some fast facts. You let everybody know you'll be there this afternoon. Well, maybe this weekend somebody in Oak Creek is thinking about listing their property. One of the first things they're going to do is go to Google and say agents or realtors or real estate agents in Oak Creek. They want to know who actually sells that area. And guess whose video is going to pop up, assuming that you did point number 13. Well, you know, you're going to get me we're never going to move past 13. But this is really this is such a sweet thing that she just said. You all should do this experience or experiment. Go to your phone, go to open up Chrome, assuming you have that on your phone, and then do a search for Julius using Oak Creek. I mean, Oak Creek's a subdivision we used to sell in. But use the name of a subdivision in a community, like as if you were a buyer looking. And then what I want you to notice is the first ads that come up are the pay -per -click ads. And then after that, what you're going to see is usually in the second or usually the first, second or third search results, you're going to see search results from YouTube. In other words, you're going to see that Google is starting to give priority to these short little snippet videos that I just described to you, and they're prioritizing the videos above the normal search results. In other words, you're going to get primo search results. Why? Because they want people to click search results and they know people will click video search results, like at a 5 to 1 ratio, more than a textural search result. So you need to be doing these little short videos in conjunction with what you're already doing. Now, it's not enough just to do the video. You're going to have to use a system like the one Julie and I use is called vidIQ to make sure you're getting all the YouTube SEO stuff right. You have to title it right. You have to put in tags. It's all very... None of that's hard, though. Oh, it's super simple. I mean, frankly, if you and I know how to do it. Right. And vidIQ is so cheap, I don't even remember how much it costs. There's a free version. OK, there you go. And we're not we're not affiliated with vidIQ. It's just vidIQ. And then it'll tell you essentially how to make it so that your videos get higher placement. The key is always to have very drilled down titles in your descriptions saying today I'm door knocking and getting to know the neighbors in Oak Creek subdivision nothing and a lot of you know, you don't need a lot of blithering and blathering, just very three or four lines. And then you want to put your links. You want to if you'd like to contact me about home for sale in Oak Creek or if you're thinking about selling your home in Oak Creek and then give your cell phone number, things like that. And what you'll find is you'll start generating leads from your YouTube. But what you're really trying to do is close the loop. Door knock. Hello. Hi, it's Bob at my door. Bob's here to provide me some information about recent home sales. Bob's, you know, very nice, very approachable. I like Bob. Bob's great. He's obviously trying to do a great job getting home sold in our community. Well, I'm more curious. I'm curious about Bob before I actually want to further my relationship with him. I have my phone in my pocket. I pull it out. I Google Bob's name, but I find Bob's actually very proactive. You guys get it. This is all free. Every single thing we told you how to do so far is free. Yes. And the super cool thing about doing the video in addition or in conjunction with your actual door knocking is that that video is going to live on and the search results will live on. So it gives a boost to that door knocking. OK, point number 14, door knock the neighborhood prior to all of your open houses. Again, give out a flyer with the stats for the neighborhood and add your home brochure for the home that you'll hold open. Ask who they know who you should invite to the open house. Ask permission to place your directional signs in the yards. And don't forget to ask, who do you know who could use my help buying or selling real estate? Well, let me give you a little bit of an enhancement to this. Now, this will work pretty much in all price ranges. But what our best age we have agents that are making, you know, millions of dollars per year. One of their primary lead drivers is doing exactly what we talk about. One of the things you want to do, it works sometimes unbelievably well in certain neighborhoods, usually more expensive neighborhoods realistically. But one of the things you want to do is you want to have a neighbors only open house prior to the main open house. And so what you can do is you can go and door knock the neighbors, invite them to the open house, and then by inviting them to the open house, you're going to maybe have the open house, the normal one for the public open from one till four, where you're going to have the neighbors only open house from, say, you know, 12 till one or something like that. What you're doing is you're just showing that you're more proactive and you're getting to know all the neighbors and the neighbors are going to think, you know what? This gives me the opportunity to go through that house and look in their garage and see if they ever gave me my mower back or my, you know, search for that search for the missing, you know, whatever, see if my neighbors accidentally snatched it. That's a bad joke, but you guys get the point. What we're really trying to do is position you, put you in. You're now door knocking. You're now having conversations. You're now delivering value to people. You're now being the person you want to be and you're working in the communities you want to work. You're actually doing real work of real estate. How does that make you feel? How does that make you feel versus, say, for example, working on your CRM more or less confident? How does that make you feel knowing you're having direct conversations with people versus, say, building a big funnel that hopefully maybe you're going to spend a bunch of money trying to get people to go into so you can drip on them door knocking, having real proactive conversations. It immediately energizes you, immediately makes you more in alignment with your highest and truest purpose in this planet, which is being of service to other people. Point number fifteen. Yes, and number fifteen is a mindset point. Believe that door knocking works and it will work. How you speak with someone when you're prospecting is greatly influenced by how you're thinking about what you're doing. Napoleon Hill said, what the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. You'll have more energy and enthusiasm when you're all in versus I'm going to try it out or I'll see how it goes. I'm just going to do this for one day and see whether it works or not. So believe that it's working. Be consistent about it and your your attitude about it will cause you to have better results. And also with regards to that, when you're door knocking, use the scripts that we give you. We talked about those a little bit on the first couple of shows of the series, but obviously these are all waiting for you over on premier coaching and all of you are ready to join premier coaching. Don't wait. Just text the word premier to four seven three seven two and you can join right away. Remember when texting message and data rates may apply. Yes. Now our final point, number sixteen is number sixteen in a four part series because it's a bit more advanced. It's also one of my favorite points about door knocking. You can create a neighborhood directory as a way to get everyone's contact information and connect the community. This can be digital and or hard copy. It's a great excuse to door knock and you're providing value to the community. You can include a map of the neighborhood, phone numbers to the utility companies who service the neighborhood and a section for other recommended providers like the sprinkler guy, a pool guy, a painter, a dog walker, a babysitter. And of course, your real estate ad with testimonials will be in that section as well. Or you could put it in the back cover as directory sponsored by Bob Smith of Exp Realty, for example. This is why hard copy is nice. It stays in their kitchen with your information on it and they use it all the time. They're not going to throw it out. This is such a huge idea when you do it well. And of course, Julie and I did this as well. And yes, we could have leaned into one of those online portals. What was the one that was in Georgetown, like nextdoor .com and they provide. But they're keeping all of that pertinent information behind a paywall and you're not in control of it. So really, what you want to do is there's a couple of different ways to go about this. I would say you'll experience, again, depending on the price range, you're going to experience 50 percent of the people are going to be very apprehensive about giving their information out. So here's the move is you want to essentially create a fill in the blank flyer and the fill in the blank flyer has no required information. Now, you can have an address associated with a name. You don't have to have their permission to say one, two, three Elm Street is lived in by Bob and Betty Jones. Right. You can do that. All their other information, they have to decide whether they want to share it, their phone numbers, their email addresses, whatever else it is. So you will door knock and you will say we're putting together a directory as a community service. And this directory is only going to be given to people in the neighborhood. It's not going to be shared any other way. It's only going to be in print format. It's not going to be a digital format. No one's going to be able to essentially email it or anything like that. So you don't have to worry about any nefarious marketing that might happen as a result of it. This is just for the neighborhood. In addition to that, we're going to include a list of the service providers. So if you've got any on the same fill in the blank thing, who is your favorite babysitter? Who's your favorite roofer? Who is your preferred landscaper? Who is your preferred all the rest of it? Right. If you're from Columbus, Ohio, like where Julie and I are from, who's the best, most reliable person that's going to show up in the middle of the night and move the 14 feet of snow off your driveway, all that sort of thing. Right. Give them the babysitters, all these types of things. But that's really valuable. You know, I mean, how many times do you, oh, I got to go Google that and then I've got to look at reviews and I got to sift and sort all that out. What if you knew, and we talk about this all the time, that when somebody needs a service provider, what do they do? Who do I already know? If I don't already know somebody, I'm going to ask a trusted friend or advisor. I'm probably going to ask a neighbor because they're going to know who services the community. So this is a really valuable thing for you to put together. That will have shelf life. And of course, you can sponsor the back cover. You can include yourself in the service providers. There's lots of ways you can work this. And so you can you should do this. This is just thinking big here. You should do this every year. Now, when Julie and I did this, what we did was we do it. Actually, I don't think we updated it every year. I think we updated it like every 18 months or 24 months. But it was it was obviously completely voluntary. At first, people were apprehensive and then they felt left out. They had FOMO if not being in the directory.
The Garden Question
A highlight from 124 - Sculpting Nature: The Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted - Kirk R. Brown

He still finds time to cultivate his own private display garden. Join him now as he unveils his views of Olmsted. This is Episode 124, Sculpturing Nature. The Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted with Kurt R. Brown Interpreting, an encore presentation and remix of Episode 63. Mr. Olmsted, would you take us back to when you were 36 years old and tell us what was your most valuable mistake up to that point? I sometimes have problems remembering what happened yesterday. Remembering what happened when I was 36 takes me to a point in time where I felt that I would never wake up, that somehow whatever hope I had of being properly engaged in an adult employment was never going to occur. However, it was at a time when seemingly everything in the world that I had touched or attempted had turned to dross. With that, when you are at the bottom, looking up from the bottom of that big black pit that you feel yourselves in, God smiles sometimes. And when he smiles, he puts in front of you an opportunity that unless you'd been in that pit of despair, you wouldn't think was a positive. I went over the brink of bankruptcy with a publishing company that my father had financed to put me on my feet in the world of communicating, largely garden communicating. But in that day, when publishers have cash in the drawer and decide that it's better in their pockets and they skip town, I was left holding an empty bag. When my sanity was at risk, there were a group of friends, Dutch elders from the state of New York, who looked at me in my circumstance and they said, without much thinking about it, we have a job for you, sir. And this was from Washington Irving, whom you might have heard, James Hamilton, the Cooper Hewitt later, and David Dudley Field, among many, many others, they said in response to my question, what is this job all about? They said, we believe that from your practical training as an agriculturist, from all of your horticultural writings, from your talents and from your obvious character, I took them at their word on that, we believe you eminently qualified for the duties of the Office of Superintendent of the capital T, the Central Park of New York. They wanted me to be a crew leader of one of the largest public works projects that had been undertaken since the construction of the pyramids. They thought by giving me this job, it would put my feet under my own table and allow me to support the family that I had inherited and adopted after my brother's death. So you see, this is a laugh because being a construction foreman on a landscape project the size of Central Park allowed me into other rooms and gave me the ability to meet other people, most notably among them, Calvert Vox. Of course, from that participation, from that connection, from that wonderful start at 36, climbing out of the black pit and going on into the greater international world of garden design. That's how you find me, sir. From that point till now, you have to consider all of the other doors that opened, designing the country's first great urban and public park. It was a democratization of space. That's the most important aspect that we were driving. All of the big parks of the old world were private preserves, were aristocratic in their founding or country homes of the elite and money. They were not open to the general public. Here we were designing a space, an urban space of green that would allow people at all levels of income to rub elbows and participate in a great and refreshing space. Out of that, the other things that came to my table were the obvious connections of making plans for residential subdivisions. I was ultimately asked to design a world's fair. And in that regard, I was one of the few who designed a fair that actually made money. Mostly the cities in which the Olmsted partnership worked were green belts. It wasn't just one isolated urban jewel. They were a necklace. They were a green necklace surrounding all of the major cities in which we did work, involving and parkways park sides with garden views. And with all of that, the infrastructure that necessarily came along with the design was an increasing awareness of public health and sanitation. I was also involved at the beginning of the American Red Cross with standardizing field operations, with organizing national outreach and coordination, and with putting women in nursing wards. I was also there at the beginning in trying to inventory the natural resources of Yosemite, and that began the National Parks Movement. I also encouraged managed forestry. I was the first person here in this country to hire a forester to help develop plans for management of 137 ,000 acres in Biltmore, not less. Governor Pinchot, as he later came to be known, was the first man that held the post at the National Center where he managed the national parks and forests. I was always involved in garden communication. I was a syndicated New York Times columnist. I was an abolitionist. I believe strongly in the development of cemetery arboretum where families could mourn the death of their loved ones. And I was the first one to be recognized for the design implementation and successful development of riparian restoration using early sustainable practices, because overarching all of these individual jobs, I believe that environmental health was also humanities welfare. Eventually, many of the things that we did for the first time or did for all of those who came later to ask us to repeat our success, eventually we codified most of the things that we were doing, and we were there at the beginning writing a syllabus for the American Society of Landscape Architects when Harvard graduated its first class. That's the beginning. And through it, we've tried to reach a point that you can look back and decide whether what we do, whether creating public parks, whether recognizing national parks, whether doing things as a green infrastructural implementation, whether that is garden design, whether it is landscape design or whether it is landscape architecture. I have certainly left the responsibility of that to all of the generations that came since the implementation of Central Park of New York. So let's look at the Central Park of New York. Where you started to turn around was when you got the job as superintendent. How did you make the jump from superintendent to being credited as the designer and builder of Central Park? I would never accept that title. I was mentored by a man far greater than I. His name was Andrew Jackson Downing, and he lived upstate New York. The concept of Central Park and the concept of public urban horticulture was his. He was the first man here in this country to successfully write that there was a model to be offered and followed in the development of landscape practices. He wrote and published a book in 1841 called A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening. It was his idea in the 1840s what he called the picturesque landscape has great advantage for the common man. The raw materials of grass, water, and woods are at once appropriated with so much effect and so little art in the picturesque mode, and the charm is so great. You'll recall that 200 years ago I was born. It was also the same year that Napoleon died. There was a great turning where people decided it was no longer appropriate to design landscapes in the French style. The formality of trimmed hedges and topiaries and the development of boxed and hothouse grown examples of tropical horticulture. What they wanted was a natural or romantic view of the world. Downing's response to that was his development of the picturesque here in North America. So while the international turned on what was their term called romanticism, Downing's belief was that it needed to be picturesque. He brought a man from England who was just spectacular with the development of line and architectural standards. His name was Calvert Vaux. So we had Calvert Vaux doing all of the housing plans for Downing's models. Downing began a magazine called The Horticulturist where he promoted all of the values of horticulture and agriculture, how to design, creating a design for living. He encouraged all of us to plant spacious parks in our cities and unclose their gates as wide as the gates of mourning to the whole people. I was a very small part of the initial concept when they were looking for the construction foreman. Downing had been killed in a steamboat accident on the Hudson River. While they were searching for the plan, they had more than 30 proposals submitted for what Central Park was to become. Calvert Vaux had a concept and he asked me if I would join him in its presentation to the committee. My thought was that a proper city park should provide escape from the city. We solved all of the inherent problems of the design so that nature of the space would be one of unending vistas of green and the lawns would seem to go on forever. With Vaux asking me to be a partner, at that low point in my life, my answer was an unqualified sir, this partnership is on. We called our design and our proposal Greensward. I would still think of it with that name. Of course, everyone else has just taken it to heart and made it Central Park. I was 36 years old. I had a neighbor in Hartford as I was growing up and then on the speaking circuit in later years and Mark Twain, you might know him as Samuel Longhorns Clemens, said that age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. What were some of the challenges in the implementation of the Central Park design? The money was coming from Albany and the old Dutch money that still remained somewhat in the Tammany Hall organization of downtown New York politics would get their hands on the money before it would feed through to enrich, encourage and grow the project. The old Dutch burghers wanted an honest man as the paymaster. And so at the end of those long days, I was the man handing money to the day workers with cash on the barrelhead, paying them for moving the hundreds and hundreds and millions of cubic yards of soil that was transported to do those effortless looking hills and dales and rambles that became Central Park. The park itself is a democratic development of the highest significance. We can never, never, ever forget that public urban horticulture is that. It is the extreme expression of democracy. And simply put, we were looking at the three grand elements of Downing's definition of picturesque or pastoral landscape. Those three elements remain the same today as they were then. The symphony of grass, water and woods joined together with many, many artificial tricks of the trade into one uncommon space. At Central Park, we also added what would be in our concept the only sculptural element that was to be included in the final design. That was the Bethesda Fountain. With Bethesda, we wanted it to be similar to the quote from the New Testament, John chapter 5, verse 4, for an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well of whatever disease he had. This becoming a place of union for all of those tired and poor of the city who would otherwise not have a green space with good public water. It became that, certainly, after the Civil War and even up until these days when the symbol of the fountain, that angel of the waters that was given to the first woman who ever won a sculptural commission in the city of New York later to become angels in America. Through all of this, that symbol of health and well -being has been guarded through all of its artistic progress. What other, as you referred to them as, tricks in the landscape design were implemented in the park? There were requirements, as most things are. They had to have cross streets, but we didn't want to interrupt the view of green. We sunk the roads, and it was unique in its concept because all of those cross streets that were mandated in the design brief were not seen once you were at grade or at the park level, so that all of the sheep's meadow and the grand lawns of Central Park were seemingly undivided and the cars would travel underneath that layer. The other thing was fresh water. The 800 and some odd acres of Central Park had to include what was an existing reservoir. The walk around the reservoir had to be included in the acreage, and to do that, we made the north part of the park into what I called a ramble. If you take the word ramble, it puts me back into my childhood. I had rides with my father and mother in the woods and fields. In those days, we were in search of the, well, the picturesque. Any man then who sees things differently than the mass of ordinary men is classified as one who has a defect of the eye and a defect of the brain. Who would think that you could move mountains to create a distant view while the cross -street thoroughfares of a major urban environment would traffic unwitnessed with the calm and peace of nature around you? In later years, it gave the common man access to a broader world. In the early days, when the park first opened, what we discovered is that entrepreneurs of the city would get a chance to meet and greet people who were not of or in their class, and everyone came together on the lake to ice skate. That had never been accomplished in an urban environment before, where the lowest and the highest achieved self -standing stature over a pair of ice skates. What other ways did you incorporate the blending of the classes? There were several types of road. There were access roads for tradesmen, and then there were the carriage trade highways that would tour the park and allowed for another whole type of merchant in the hiring of horse -drawn vehicles that are still there, conveying tourists into and around the park today because of the way the layout was designed. We also included space for a zoo and for ornamental horticulture in the display of flowers. It also gave space for the Metropolitan Museum, and then as you'll see over all these years, many, many other opportunities for people to regard themselves highly by installing other busts and portraiture. There's Cleopatra's Needle, which was that large obelisk that came from Egypt that has its own following up above the museum. It's all part and parcel of creating the ambiance of nature in an artificial way. You had some experiences of your own in a walking tour in England. How did those influence your view of design, and how did you take those and implement them in the park? The only difference is that in England, what we were looking at in the assortment of grass, water, and woods was that most of the developed areas were done for members of the aristocracy. They were country homes at the time. Previous generation, they were landscapes designed and achieved by Lancelot. They called him Capability Brown. Those assortments of grass, water, and woods were no different in concept, really, for the public parks that we were designing. The only difference is that in public funded projects, they had access for people of all social classes. There was no admission, no gate. I've heard it said you become who you hang out with. Tell us about some of the people that you have surrounded yourself with.
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 8 To Debate or Not to Debate? Kill the Boer? Lizzo's Banana Republic?
"The U .S. dollar has lost 85 % of its value since the 70s, when the dollar decoupled from gold, and the government seems bent on continuing the tradition. Charlie Kirk here. From now until after the elections, the government can print as much money as they want. The last time they did that, inflation went up 9%. Gold is the only asset that has proven to withstand inflation. Invest in gold with Noble Gold Investments. You will get a 24 -carat, one -fourth of an ounce gold standard coin for free. Just use promo code kirk. Go to noblegoldinvestments .com. That's noblegoldinvestments .com, the only gold company I trust. Hey, everybody. It's the Charlie Kirk show, Thought Crimes. That's right. We have Blake Neff, Tyler Boyer, Jack Posobick. We talk about Jack Smith. We disagree about some of the Trump stuff. We talk about Lizzo and more. Remember, this show is a little bit spicier, so for the homeschoolers out there that you have been warned, we get some emails. Charlie, I don't like Thought Crimes. The topics are a little bit R -rated. Well, it is, so you've been warned. Support our program by going to members .charliekirk .com and becoming a member today. That's members .charliekirk .com. You can email me your thoughts, as always, freedom at charliekirk .com and get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa .com. That is tpusa .com. As always, you can email me freedom at charliekirk .com. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Boy, I've got to be honest. The name of the show just becomes more and more timely as we continue. Blake Neff is with us, the increasingly popular Blake Neff. Tyler Boyer. Hey, how are you doing? Campus Victory Project t -shirt. And Jack Pysobik, never heard of him, but he's with our show right now. Jack, who are you? They sometimes typo our ad reads, so they mention this guy. That's why we found him. I know, Jack, you look like something as a combination of inception and hell. It looks like your background, but exactly. That's exactly you know. Well, I'm in Washington DC. Well, OK, so that's what you were going for. Inception, but hell. OK, let's. So everybody, this is thought crimes. The reason why this show becomes more and more timely is that this indictment right here, Blake, you've read it multiple times. I've read it twice. Tyler, you've read it as well. And Jack, I know you've gone through it. This actually the center of this is thought crimes. Is that fair? Jack Pysobik, Donald Trump thought things that you were not allowed to think. Well, he not only Charlie, not only did he think them, but he had the even far greater audacity and criminal intent mens rea, as we say in the biz, to actually speak his thought crimes publicly at one point, believe it or not, from a microphone in front of the White House. And not only did he speak these unlawful opinions publicly, he even apparently shared them privately. He shared them with, you know, people that you're not allowed to discuss legal strategy with, like, like lawyer. Right, of course, because that's illegal now, too. In fact, all of these things that he did, like cite laws and precedent and hold speeches and have opinions. Those are all illegal now, because we we named this show. What is this episode seven, episode eight something, though, about two months into the show here, we said we're going to call the show incredibly. And there we go. It is a it's a very appropriately timed show. So, Blake, I mean, like you're you know, you're hyperdrive, Normie. Right. So you don't engage in any of the, you know, let's say tribal tribal talk that Blake, Tyler and I do. Right. You're you're Blake, you're the one that's like, this is insane. It's it's completely nuts. Like, you know, I've certainly had a lot of criticism. We've even discussed, you know, the other indictment where I'm like, okay, whatever else. This was totally avoidable. This one. This is bad. And like, you don't it's not a matter of whether you think like any of the fraud claims are accurate or not. What it literally is, is they're basically saying Trump committed a crime by asserting that he believed in them. And they're like, we can read his mind. He didn't really believe this. This was knowingly false. They use the phrase like knowingly false probably 50 times in that indictment. And it's just over and over again. What it will be is it'll just be like, well, you know, Trump's lawyer, this one lawyer told him that this was not true. And so after he's been told this, that means it's knowingly false that he said that. Well, you know, they don't talk about who else told them these things, who else was Trump listening to, like what who is giving these narratives to Trump that he was deciding to believe this. And literally, they just decided to criminalize that Trump chose to believe one person over another person. So, so, Blake, we have the indictment here and I'll hand it to you. And I want you to find some examples, but can you cite some examples of that? Because I just I'm sure that for sure. Yeah. And so, so, Tyler, do you want to chime in here before I go back to Jack on this? Because, I mean, this indictment is multifaceted, but let's talk about the political side, right? You're like the great political mind of the generation. Part of the RNC actually cares about it. The politics of this is flummoxing the people. You know the base really well. Donald Trump's getting more popular since these indictments have gone down. Yeah. I mean, look, well, let's take that first part. So everything that happens to Donald Trump, and this is starting all the way back to 2015, every attack that is made on Donald Trump from either the establishment or from the left increases his popularity. And it makes their job harder. So it's like crazy that we're still here and that they're going to the, it's like every time they keep leveling up, you know, I call it like the Wile E. Coyote type stuff, right? Which is that the Wile E. Coyote is trying to do something more like more insidious every time and the roadrunner still like outruns him. So that's kind of where we've been politically since 2015 and Donald Trump. And it seems like nothing works. Yeah. I mean, so Tyler, help me make sense of this. And this is a tangent while Blake finds the examples. I actually, I actually, I've just got it right here. Like on the same page, this is just talking about the state of Wisconsin that same day in response to the court decision that had prompted the Wisconsin governor to sign a certificate of final determination, the defendant, Trump, issued a tweet repeating his knowingly false claim of election fraud and demanding that the Wisconsin legislature overturn the election results. Then two paragraphs later, on January 6th, 2021, the defendant publicly repeated knowingly false claims that there had been tens of thousands of unlawful votes. January 6th, that means they're charging for something he said in his speech at the White House. I couldn't disagree more with this. I've spent a lot of private time with President Trump. He believes this. You could think he's off the wall on it and all this. I think he's onto something more so than not. But you're allowed to believe things that are not mainstream. You're allowed to be delusional. This is the country. You could think he was Napoleon and it would be insane for them to charge him. But Blake, let's just play devil's framing this. What's the crime here? Like the regime frame. If you were to like, say, like Blake, play devil's advocate, what is their art? How could you possibly spend that? You know what I think it is? Not to interject here, but the same way that they, this is like kind of a more pertinent thing that we've seen in like real society, that speech is not protected. And this is the case when people commit suicide, for example, is that if you talk someone into suicide or say something enough that it causes them to commit suicide, so you can be held liable. So I think what their angle that they're trying to do is this is in that same vein that President Trump knows better. He knew the truth. He knows the facts. And he was still pushing people to do things that were driving them insane. And all these people went insane. Normal people went insane doing things that they normally wouldn't do because of Donald Trump's rhetoric. Well, keep in mind, they didn't so far, they might be planning to do this. There are signs they do, but they're they currently haven't charged him with like incitement to insurrection. They do have conspiracy, if you look on the front here, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and that conspiracy against rights. So what the conspiracy against rights is the crazy one, because what they're basically saying is by repeating all of his knowingly false claims about the election that he's destroying people's right to vote, that people have the right to vote and have their vote be counted. And he's delegitimizing the election with his his scheme. And they do have there are certain quotes in here, like, you know, if you listen to someone for three months, you'll probably get a bad quote out of them. But they did get those quotes where like he's he's, you know, he's pushing Pence, for example, to go along with their idea for January 6th when they're counting, you know, say that there is a dispute and we can't count them yet. And there's a point where he basically says like, you're too honest, Mike is what he supposedly says to Mike Pence while they're on the phone. And, you know, they're framing this as like Trump knew this was all a lie and was just running a really aggressive shtick of fraud because he wanted to remain president. And there's a few examples, they have to really stretch it because like there's cases where they say that like a person will say, like, you know, we have a lot of theories, but not a lot of proof yet or whatever. And that proves they knew it was false. I think it's much more like these people very strong. They very strongly believe it because but, you know, they're kind of vibe readers. Trump is very much a vibe guy. Like, yeah, I just believe the fraud. So, Jack, I want to get you in on here. You've read the indictment. What? So, I mean, a lot of people listen to this podcast. They're not into this. They'll hear our rather forceful explanations of this. And they might be tempted to be like, oh, Charlie, Jack and Blake and Tyler, you guys are partisan actors. You're over -exaggerating, but Jack, even from the most sober reading of this indictment, they're criminalizing disagreement that you can't look at an election and see something differently. Charlie, at one point in here, in one of the page numbers, section 44. But it says, December 4th, after four Republican leaders, I got the citation, you're gonna love this. The leaders of the Pennsylvania legislator issued a public statement that the assembly lacked the opportunity to overturn the popular vote. Doing so would violate the code, da, da, da. And then the defendant retweeted a post labeling the legislators coward, period. So, so they were actually going through President Trump's retweet on his Twitter timelines before he was suspended. So this was December, he was, he was suspended the next month after January 6th. They're using retweets, calling somebody a coward, which guess what, you know, you may not like that. You may say it's repugnant. You may say that I don't want a president who talks that way. You might be, you know, part of the sort of never Trump National Review crowd and saying, I think it's all reprehensible. No president should ever act this way. But calling somebody a coward or re -tweeting someone, calling someone a coward is not criminal. And it should never be used as evidence of criminality. And I think that's what Blake is getting to here, that there's no criminal intent. What you see is somebody who's essentially trying to use a process. Now you can make all sorts of arguments about what the process, you know, followed correctly. Was he, you know, was he doing things the proper way, et cetera, et cetera. But those are all process question. The point is he's trying to follow a process. And by the way, and this is going to come up in court, he was acting on the advice counsel the entire time. And count one really stands out to me, too. I want to say that it's this conspiracy to defraud the United States and the framing is they use the fraudulent over and over again in on page 22 of this year in section 54. They have the December 9th memorandum, which the prosecutor calls the fraudulent elector instructions. That is what they are officially labeled in court documents where they're saying like this whole scheme to is like like they're trying to trick Mike Pence, like they're going to send in this like sheet of paper and be like, this is a trick on him. And like also, I mean, this was all this was not a mystery leading up to this, though, in the indictment they have. And then Donald Trump sent out a tweet. Let's see what Mike Pence does. He has a chance. I mean, I just I know that this is not the best defense, but I think just from a layman's perspective, if you're launching a conspiracy against the United States, you're not live tweeting it. Well, you're not like, let's see what Mike does. Like, wow, there's some secret plan like you were being honest the whole time. Well, Charlie, Charlie, they do this thing. I'll just say because they bring it up all the time. And I'm in the clip. The January 6th hearing brought up this clip where it's Steve Bannon. It's war room. It's January 5th. And he had this line about all hell's going to break loose. Okay, I'm sitting there right next to him. I think Raheem Kassam's in the room.
Frankrijk Binnendoor
A highlight from Wijngaarden en de oudste Voie Verte van Frankrijk in Sane-et-Loire
"Bonjour! I am the founder of franquerecbinidor .nl, the website for you can see in franquerec with podcasts, blogs, road trips, insider tips, ebooks and the popular book from franquerecbinidor, where under there are regular hits. I am here with my friend Mike from my road trip and I am here to talk to you about franquerec and how it is under franquerec. In this podcast I will talk about the development of the language of russian music in the department of sauna and law. Next to me! I have been in the last year in full strength of franquerecbinidor, but I have been living with it all. In the last year I have been living with russian music in the department of sauna and law. In the year 2003, I have been living in the main streets of the bougogne, Dijon and Macon, in front of the franquerecbinidor bougogne. This year in November 2013. I am here today to talk about the streets of Sauna and Macon. I can't tell you exactly where I live, but I have been living in the main streets of the bougogne. And that place is not so slim. The streets of the city of Sauna and the city of Macon is one of the top cities in the country. The culture, the history and the history of music. And as I was 15 years old, it is one of the most fantastic. And if you live in the main streets of the city of Sauna and the main streets of the city of Macon, then it is a pleasure and an absolute honor to be able to talk more about it. I have been living in the city of franquerecbinidor for 2 years. The first time I saw the city of Sauna was in the city of Gudkend. I was an inclusionist in the city of Macon, but it was also a pleasure to be able to talk about it. And the second time I saw the city of Gudkend, photos were made in the city of Cote d 'Or and the city of Gudbong. And when I saw the city of Gudkend, I did not see the city of Gudkend. But I knew it, and I knew that I would be able to talk more about the city of Sauna. Because I knew that the city of Cote d 'Or was not only the city of Sauna, but also the city of Gudkend. What I really like about it is that it has a fantastic connection to the city of Cote d 'Or. All the time it is a pleasure to be able to talk about the city of Cote d 'Or and Macon. That is the city of Sauna. You can go to the city of Aute Vri, 50 miles away, which is just over 60 km long and it is amazing. This is the city of La Voix Bleu, in Luxembourg with Lyon. It is a great city with lots of mozzles and Sauna. In the last 50 years the city of Aute Vri has been the first city of Frank -Rijk, where it has been a long time since. Just as your land, sea and land, the city of Macon is the only city in the city of Bond. In 1876, the Kaiser, Napoleon III and the Krait were in the hands of the city of Sperbaan. In the last several years we have been in the hands of the city of Aune. Therefore, we have a ton of work to do in the city of Macon and Cluny. It is important to note that the roads in the city are still open, although the work is not open. It is important to note that the city is still open and there is no place to sleep. The last three years were the most important institutions of patria clare and in 1876, the first train to Macon and Cluny. It took 18 years for the first train to land in Saune. In 1876 people stopped and in 1929 stopped for a long time. It took 18 years for the first train to land in Saune. And the first train was the first Voorwerk of Frank -Rijk. That is more than 20 years later and the Voorwerk is now in the Netherlands for a long time. But there are more states to look out for the roads in Frank -Rijk. A Saune is located in the top of the water, where it is quite hot. When the water comes into the Saune and the water goes over the outer Spoorbahn, there is a Saume and the water goes over the Brugogne Dusseld. The combinations of these two freight trains are about 150 km long and over 20 miles per hour. It is ideal if you have a good time in the city. A lot of people think that the best route to the Saune is the best route to the Saune, but they don't know that it is the best route. The Spoorbahn is located in the middle of the Macon and the tunnel of 1600 m in Cluny. It is now the largest area of Europe. In this historic state, the rest of the central North -Pekkeike, which is far away, is not very far away. It is located in the middle of the Voorstellingen, where it is quite hot. The city is large and small, but very touristy. There are also many sites located in the museum of Trussey, but that is not the case. A lot of people think it is the best route to the Saune. is The Saune located in the middle of the Voorstellingen, where it is quite hot. The Saune is located in the Macon, but it is quite hot. It is not the best route to the Saune, but it is not the best route to the Saune. There are also many trains located in the Saune, but that is not the best route to the Saune. The Saune is located in the middle of the Voorstellingen, where it is quite hot. There are also many trains located in the Saune, but that is not the best route to the Saune. There are also many trains located in the Saune, but that is not the best route to the Saune. Like the Saune, there are also the You take the rest of the drink, you have the ...and finally reached the landscape. Some with what is called platinum ore... ...and then we got a little bit stuck in the long -term market. And as we were growing with the work... ...that is the most rustic landscape... ...and some with what is called a spore water house. In the middle of the Baysense in Jour -Lille National... ...there is a station in the city of Kapping, Perron... ...and an auto -pump for the stone locomotives. A local place for a house of a picnic in the garden. A market is a very wide market... ...and for a unit of the houses... ...there are a lot of market -sized houses... ...and very strict products. And on the other hand... ...there is the market of the East... ...and that is the market of the South. In the middle of the Buxi, you can see the local market... ...and then you can see the landscape... ...in a small, but fine middle -earth market. The market that has been used here... ...in the past several years... ...is relatively flat. I would like to show you the door to the left... ...where you can see a small market... ...in a very natural way. You can see the Moya Kamping... ...that you can see here in the middle of the Buxi. And in this area... ...you can see a very large Buxi... ...with very large houses and tunnels... ...with a very large market in the rest of the land. And if you are living in a castle... ...with a large park... ...in the middle of an outdoor area... ...then you can see the Chateau de la Fête... ...that is located on the left -hand side of the door. There are a number of different locations... ...and other locations in the middle of the land. In the link... ...you can find the article... ...on this podcast... ...and the link is in the description below. Now, Buxi is at least... ...a kilometer away from the city of Chateau de la Fête. And it is not the best... ...in the local market of the Buxi... ...but that the wine -dorp Givri... ...is a very small city. The door will be closed in a few minutes... ...and the city will be closed... ...in a short period of time. And over here... ...is the entrance to the area... ...in the middle of the city of Chateau de la Fête. And the money will be sold... ...to the wine -grater here... ...in the middle of the city of Buxi... ...and the quality of the wine... ...will be very high. That's why the wine -dorp Givri... ...is located in the middle of the door... ...and that is the zone. The town is one of the most... ...in the house of France. And that is not a miss... ...because it's a little outside... ...of the city's main port. And now, in three... ...come the city of Chateau de la Fête. And what I'm going to do... ...is to take a look at the water... ...and what you can do... ...in the middle of the city... ...of this flowing place. It is also important... ...to have a supply... ...in the centre of the town. The boat is standing well... ...but not all the time... ...in the local place. The sun fits you over a footstroke... ...or even over a trotware. But, at the same time... ...you come to the centre... ...of the town's launch zone. And under the water zone... ...you can reach the route... ...of the Vaublois -Opec... ...into Tournou and Macombe. The town is located at a distance... ...of about 60 kilometres... ...but you can get a chance... ...into Tournou... ...in two days. Tournou is the best place... ...for a touch stop... ...in this out -of -place place... ...like the N .Z. The Vauzombre... ...Mitti Siveg... ...Tusse Parais... ...and the France Alpe. And that way... ...you can have a nice meal... ...and go to all the fantastic restaurants. There's an overnight in Tournou... ...with a good combination... ...with a little bit of eating. You can also go there... ...and there are only a few... ...in the state of the town... ...and a few of the local restaurants. And it's a great day... ...to go to the airport... ...to the airport in Tournou... ...in the underground zone... ...a moment... ...and a little bit of fun. And as you enter Nübend... ...you get a chance to get... ...to the airport at the fifth floor... ...to the Vaublois... ...in Macon City. You're then... ...a nice little river... ...and a third kilometer... ...as you come by Macon. You can also go there... ...to the airport... ...and you can go there... ...and go to the RSS... ...the airport in Toulas... ...or to the next airport... ...in the sixth floor. And as you can see... ...that is the day... ...when the RSS is a good cause... ...and this is a project... ...of the former Roode National... ...which is called the NSS. It's the most important route... ...to Paris... ...and to the whole of the world... ...by the Italians. It's the most important route... ...to Paris... ...with Mont -Ton -Vebond. It's a great time for the NSS... ...not too far away... ...and it's a great day... ...to go to the airport... ...in the departmental route... ...by one of the masses... ...of Sophie and Zit. The day NSS... ...right in Macon... ...is one of the drugs... ...where you will have... ...a ton of hits... ...from the historical scene. It's the same as before... ...out of ten stations... ...that take over... ...an other function. Some sit in a bakery... ...of an amber vehicle... ...and an ankle... ...in a garage. Or come in... ...out of restaurants... ...and open a store... ...where you can also... ...see more and more... ...the tanned... ...the states... ...in which you can see it. Sometimes... ...if it's the day... ...and you're looking for... ...an option... ...from the other side... ...of the street... ...you can say that... ...what might be... ...the rest of your life. But... ...it's still a long way to go... ...and with the auto... ...you can control it. It's rare... ...when we come to... ...a rare practice... ...to take a... ...lacité... ...the climate... ...event... ...the Bologna. And if you're in a wine... ...liver by the band... ...or if you're... ...more over the wine... ...from the Bologna... ...and you're... ...not going to... ...to see the world... ...it's a top place. You can... ...go to the auto... ...care... ...and you can... ...go to the Centre of the Love. But you can... ...go there first... ...and then... ...go to another... ...in the world... ...of the wine... ...in the Bologna. This is the... ...and the most important... ...is this unique... ...museum... ...which is... ...absolutely... ...a Bologna. It's interactive... ...and digital... ...and you can... ...control a... ...a lot of... ...lungmen... ...all the... ...way... ...to the wine... ...from the Bologna. And with videos... ...and a digital landscape... ...you can see... ...in three channels... ...France, the Netherlands... ...and what you will see... ...in the world.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Frank Turek (Encore)
"Folks, welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacypminvestments .com. That's legacypminvestments .com. Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. Would you consider yourself smart, insightful, precocious, astute, clever, wise beyond your years, and good at checking a thesaurus for synonyms? Well, then you've come to the right place. Here now is the handsome, attractive, striking, gorgeous, and quite frankly, breathtaking, Eric Metaxas! Hey there folks, welcome to the show. I am excited because I have a friend on today who is a Christian apologist. Have you heard that term? An apologist? No, no, no, he's not apologizing. As a Greek, I know the word apology, the original meaning is apologia, of words, of understanding. So to be an apologist is to make a defense, like a lawyer would, for the faith. And Frank Turek is the author of many, many books. He's the president of CrossExamined. You can go to crossexamined .org. And Dr. Frank Turek has a new book out. Excited to have him to discuss the new book. It's called Correct, Not Politically Correct About Same -Sex Marriage and Transgenderism. Dr. Frank Turek, welcome to the program. The great Eric Metaxas. How are you my friend? Unbelievable that you have a stadium -sized crowd in your little office there. That's very impressive. Thank you. I got to tell you seriously, we're friends and I just enjoy whenever I get to bump into you and talk to you. But you are really prolific. You keep coming out with these extraordinary books. And the new one, unfortunately, is very important about same -sex marriage and transgenderism. So as believers, those of us who say, I'm a Christian, how do I understand this? You have written a book to help with that. Because unfortunately, you know that there seems to be some confusion about how we're supposed to deal with this. So what is the principal thesis of the book before we get into the details? Well actually, this goes all the way back to 2008, Eric, when I saw that same -sex marriage was being more and more accepted. And a lot of people didn't know why they shouldn't accept same -sex marriage. And so I wrote the first edition of this book back in 2008. And it's not a book filled with Bible verses. This is the natural law medical case against same -sex marriage and now transgenderism. Because as you know, that has come out even more in recent years. And so the third edition of this book just was released about a month ago. And it's got a brand new section on this transgender issue. Because as you've spoken about, Eric, when you're talking about Letter to the American Church, is that pastors don't even seem to want to touch this issue. And if pastors aren't going to touch this issue, who is? Well, ironically, Eric, there have been atheists that are talking more about this issue. People like Bill Maher, people like Richard Dawkins, people like Douglas Murray, are who actually not Christians, but they're saying there's a big problem here. And we need to speak out against it. And it's really a stain on the American Church that the Church hasn't spoken out about it, Eric. So anyway, this book, Correct, Not Politically Correct, is the third edition. And it's not quoting Bible verses. It's there to show you from a natural law medical perspective why both same -sex marriage and transgenderism are not good for individuals or societies. It's so interesting to me what you just mentioned, how we have non -believers, people who are not Christians, who seem to see clearly the problems with transgenderism and are talking about that. And of course, most extraordinarily, you have gay, people who identify as gay, who are conservative, speaking out against the transgender madness. So they don't identify as Christians. They identify as gays. But they say, wait a minute, we were not advocating for this. This is lunacy. I was literally with Douglas Murray last night at a dinner here in New York City. I was with Brandon Strzok here in New York recently. Both of them identify as gay. Both of them are conservatives. And both of them are totally outspoken about the transgender lunacy. So obviously, we disagree on some pretty basic stuff. But on this, many people who are not Christians see the madness, are speaking out about it. And as you just said, many in the church are silent. And this is the scandal. And that's why I wrote my book, Letter to the American Church. But I don't go deep into this issue. You, my friend, Mr. Apologist, Dr. Frank Turek, you get into this. So I do want to get into it with you from a biblical perspective. And I want to be clear, too, when you say natural law perspective, ladies and gentlemen, that's a biblical perspective. We're just not talking about quoting scripture verses. We're talking about logically talking from a biblical viewpoint. But how are we supposed to approach this? Well, first of all, let's talk about whether or not love requires approval. I always ask parents, because our culture somehow thinks, Eric, that love requires approval, that if you want to love me, you have to approve of what I do. And I always ask parents, if you approve of everything your kid wants to do when he or she is 13, are you a loving parent? Of course not. You need to stand in the way of evil to love people. And we, even in the church, have bought into the lie that to love people, we have to approve of what they do. No, we don't approve of what they do if we love them, if they're doing evil. This is why Paul says, by the way, in the passage, Eric, that everybody reads at their wedding, but nobody obeys, that love always protects, that love does not rejoice in wrongdoing, love rejoices in the truth, that love always perseveres. How do you protect people when other people want to do evil, or when they themselves want to do evil? You call them out on it. And that, of course, is what I'm trying to do in Correct Not Politically Correct. That's what you're trying to do in Letter to the American Church. We're trying to tell people that if you love people, you will speak out against this evil. In fact, Jesus himself said it would be better to have a millstone hung around your neck than to lead one of these little ones astray. And, Eric, that's what we're doing. That's what I document in Correct Not Politically Correct. We are actually trying to transition minors. We're mutilating their genitals. We are giving them puberty blockers and cross -sex hormones that are making them old men and old ladies way before their time, sterilizing them, and we're calling this love? This is not love. This is evil, and we need to stand against it. And if Douglas Murray can stand against it, if Richard Dawkins can stand against it, if my friend Dave Rubin, I just did a show with him down in Miami just a couple of weeks ago, you know, he identifies as gay too, if he can stand against it, where are the pastors? Where are the Christians? Where are the common sense people, Eric? What are we doing? We're allowing this on our watch, and we're silent. We can't be silent anymore. Well, I, you know, in my book, Letter to the American Church, I'm trying to reach those pastors and Christians who are kind of on the fence, who are confused, who don't know what to do, so they're being quiet. And it's why I love you, because you help us understand why we need to speak out. I mean, I talk about it a little bit, but you go into depth to explain the biblical worldview, God's idea of sexuality, transgenderism. Now, what's interesting to me, Frank, is, of course, Scripture isn't silent on transgenderism, right? I mean, right in the beginning of Genesis, we are created in God's image male and female. Very, very clear, there are only two genders. So when somebody puts out this idea, which they came up with 10 minutes ago, oh, yeah, there are all these many, many genders, you want to say, where did you get that from? Everyone, you don't need to be a Christian to know that's preposterous. You don't need to know that, you don't need to be a Christian to know that a rooster cannot lay an egg. Everybody from the beginning of time has understood that there are two genders, so that's number one. But number two, you know the passage where Paul talks about who will inherit the kingdom of God. And the Scripture, you know, when you look at the Greek, you get different translations. It says homosexual, sodomite, sometimes it says effeminate, whatever. What it's referring to there in that first word has to do with those men who blur the line, who feminize themselves. And it makes it very clear that that is wrong. And so it's interesting, the Scripture is not silent on these things. There's plenty in Scripture about this, whether you're looking at the Old Testament or the New Testament. So that's why it's all the more shocking in a sense that Christian pastors and leaders have been silent on this. I understand why, but folks, that needs to change. When we come back, we're going to get into the details. Frank Turek is my guest. The book is titled Correct, Not Politically Correct. We'll be right back. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right. Designed to heal. And I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated Relief Factor for them selected the four best ingredients. Yes, 100 percent drug free ingredients in each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only $19 .95 to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70 percent of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more on one of them. Go to relieffactor .com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer.

You can find him at crossexamined .org. He is on 180 radio stations per week. The show podcast is called I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist. So, Frank, let's keep talking about this. How do we know there are only two genders? How do you know? How do I know? How do we know this? Let's just leave the Bible out of it for just a minute. Let's just look at the natural design of the body. The natural design of the body proves there are only two genders, Eric. Because, look, if you're a human being, and this is true in all mammals, you can only produce either a sperm or an egg. There's no third category. And anybody that can't produce a sperm or an egg, that's an incapacity. That's not a third capacity. So we know by the design of the body that there's only two genders. Secondly, transgender advocates, and this is all in the book, correct? Not politically correct. Transgender advocates, on one hand, deny there are only two genders. They say everything is fluid. But on the other hand, they unwittingly have to presuppose two genders. Why? Because if I'm a man and I think I'm a woman, I have to have some idea what a man is and some idea what a woman is to know that I have this psychological mismatch between my psychology and my biology. And secondly, if I'm going to try and make the so -called transition, which is impossible, and we'll get into it by the way, but if I'm going to try and do that, if I'm going to try and become a woman, I have to have some idea of what a man is and some idea of what a woman is to try and make the so -called transition. If there were no fixed genders, Eric, there would be no way I would know I had gender dysphoria, and there would be no way I could try and make the so -called transition. So it presupposes it, on one hand, while denying there are fixed genders on the other. Can I tell you how I know there are only two genders? Here's how I know. Amazon was selling a shirt that said, like, these are the 20 different categories of gender, and it was on the front of the t -shirt. And the shirt came in sizes for men and for women only. That, to me, is hilarious. When it says male, female, like you want to buy a shirt, like you got to click on male or female. At some point, this becomes funny, because we all understand this is troubled people. These are people that are deeply, deeply troubled. I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to be so confused or so angry or so whatever. So we do have to have compassion, and I think that's where the silence comes from on the part of many Christian leaders. They think that to say nothing is to be compassionate, and in some cases that's true. In some cases, there's a time to speak and a time to be quiet, but we have a responsibility to disciple our flocks. We have a responsibility to our own children to tell them the truth about these kinds of things. And, you know, the famous statement, silence in the face of evil is itself evil. When you're quiet, it can often mean consent. It means, I'm not saying anything, which means I'm going along with this. I just don't want to, I'm just not going to say so, but you get the message, because I'm saying nothing. Well, Eric, let's draw a parallel between gender dysphoria and, say, anorexia, which is what Dr. Paul McHugh at John Hopkins University, a psychiatrist, draws. He that says if someone is anorexic, but they think that they are overweight, you would not help them by saying, you know, honey, I'm going to get you some liposuction. You're right. You know, you are really overweight. No, you would say, honey, your mind is playing tricks on you. You're suffering from a mental delusion. Let me get you some psychiatry. Let me get you some cognitive therapy. Let me get you some counseling. Let me help you fix your mind, because you can change your mind. You can't change your biology, by the way. You can change your mind. Also, Eric, if your daughter came to you and said she was a mermaid, would you take her off the coast and drop her in the ocean? No, of course you would say... If I loved her, of course I would. Whatever you want to be, honey, whoever you are today, you want to be a kite? That's right. Follow your heart. No, I tell you, Frank, again, this is the logic of it. If somebody says to you, I'm Napoleon Bonaparte, I'm Julius Caesar, I'm Winston Churchill, how do you respond to that? Well, you might just nod politely because you realize, wow, this person is deeply messed up. But imagine affirming them in that lie. I have to say that, you know, if there's a way to help them see the truth, you would do it. Now, some people are beyond that. There's some people you can't do anything. But what is amongst ourselves, we wouldn't start calling that person Jesus of Nazareth because he just said, I'm Jesus. We, you and I, would say, you know, that guy there thinks he's Jesus of Nazareth. We obviously know that he's not. He's so messed up. I don't know how we can get to him. Maybe we can't. But let's not pretend amongst ourselves. Let's not tell everybody, call him Jesus because that's the loving thing to do. You would never do that. No, and the well -meaning people who try and say, well, we need to accommodate these people. We have to use their pronouns. You have to have your own pronouns and all this. If you think about that, if someone is suffering from a delusion, you don't help them by trying to keep them in the delusion. If deaf people were to come to you and say, Eric, you know, I can't hear and I'm upset every time you listen to music, stop listening to music, stop speaking. You must use sign language. You would go, OK, I'm going to do everything I can to accommodate you because you have a defect that you can't get over. But I'm not going to change my life completely. So you're not offended because I listen to music or I or I speak. And yet that's what seems to be happening with the entire trans movement. They want to pull the entire world into the delusion in order to make some people who really need mental health care feel better when the best way to help them feel better is to get them mental health care, not to affirm them in that particular delusion. And by the way, the data show, which is what we cover and correct, not politically correct, Eric, that nearly all of the people, not maybe not all, but most of the people that suffer from so -called gender dysphoria have some kind of traumatic childhood event that has triggered them into this. Now, say that again, because I have not really heard that. I was wondering about this. Yes. You're a data guy. I'm not really. So talk about that. And again, this is in the book. Correct. Not politically correct. Talk about that. Yeah. Walt Iyer, who for eight years tried as try to live as a woman, but then became a Christian and then started the Web site and ministry called Sex Change Regret, Sex Change Regret Dotcom. And he has counseled thousands, according to him, thousands of people. And in his research, he says there's nearly always an event. There's always some sort of traumatic event that causes the person to think I'm in the wrong body. And for example, the people that truly have gender dysphoria, not the social contagion that's spreading on the Internet right now that, you know, a lot of young girls are just there. It's the hip thing to do it. They don't really have gender dysphoria, but they're trying to get approval of the crowd and they're trying to stick it to their parents sometimes when they do this. But the people that truly have gender dysphoria say, Eric, that they had an event. In fact, Walt Iyer puts it this way. Sometimes when a man thinks he's a woman, he has been sexually abused and he wants to get rid of the genitalia that was abused. So you can understand the psychology behind it. They want to rid themselves of the organ that was abused in that event. Okay, folks, we got to be clear. We're talking about evil. Evil, when someone is sexually abused as a child, there's almost nothing that you can think of that's more evil than that. It is pronounced evil. It's not just wrong. It's pronounced evil. And when you quoted Jesus earlier, you know, better that we would find the largest millstone and have it hung around his neck and he be cast into the sea than that he should lead one of these little ones to go straight. We're talking about some very, very dark stuff. And we have to have compassion to understand if someone has been through that, it is hard for us to imagine how that would mess you up, how your brain, your psyche would try to accommodate that trauma. And as you're saying, as this guy says, who you can find at sexchangeregret .com, sexchangeregret .com, he is saying that is often the case, that someone has had a profound trauma. So first, we want to weep for these people. We want to weep what they have been through, but we don't want to affirm them in the way they're dealing with this any more than you deferment. Somebody who's like, you know, who's on heroin because of some stuff that happened to him, you know, in Vietnam or during his childhood. And you wouldn't want to say, like, hey, if heroin is your way to deal with this, good for you. I'm all in. Let me buy you, you know, some horse. No, you would you would try to actually help him, like really help him. And, you know, Eric, you can change your mind. You can't change your biology. Look, if I'm a man and I think I'm a woman, why not think that instead of my body being wrong, that I'm actually, instead of saying I'm a woman trapped in a man's body, why shouldn't I say that I'm a man enveloping a woman's mind? Then if I can just change my mind and fix the problem, I can't change my biology. I can't change all hundred trillion of my cells. I can't change my DNA, but I can change my mind. And every single one of ourselves, folks, can tell any doctor whether you're a man or a woman. This is not like an up in the air thing. We'll be right back talking to Frank Turek, T -U -R -E -K. Frank Turek, the book, correct, not politically correct.

Paul Kengor and Sebastian Discuss the Latest Out of Ukraine
"Paul, you mentioned the war in Ukraine. The latest piece you sent me from the spectator has to do with the saber rattling, the rusty saber rattling of Vladimir Putin Putin's nuclear itch concerning some very, very disturbing statements he has made. Talk to us about this former KGB kernel and what's happened in the last year with regard to the Kremlin and their master plan for domination in Eastern Europe. Well, he's increasingly been talking about nuclear weapons. And I've noticed this going back almost a year now. So his invasion of the Ukraine is now about, I guess, maybe 13, 14 months old. So I followed his nuclear rhetoric, very carefully. It's very disturbing. The different things that he's been saying. And I felt all along that the more desperate that this guy gets and the more that the Russians lose on the ground in the Ukraine, which they will because the Russians always get their butts kicked in military battles. I mean, people saying all the time. Could you believe that Ukrainians are repelling the Russians? Oh, yeah. I mean, the only time the Russians ever pull anything off is thanks to the Russian winner when they're invaded. Right, Napoleon 1812, Hitler, the drop in temperature and the mud, right? Yeah, that's exactly right. And by sheer numbers, the losing 20, 30 million people in World War II. You take the U.S. and the UK combined in World War II. We lost like what? 607 100,000 combined. Multiply that by like 30 or 40 and you're getting to what the Soviets lost in World War II. It's relatively easy to win when you have no regard for human life and you've got a lot of people to just kind of throw into the minefield.

Gov. Asa Hutchinson Teases Presidential Hopes
"Listen, governor asa Hutchinson talked about how he's going to be in the mix, a very serious and he's very seriously thinking about whether or not he wants to run for president. The guy doesn't stand a chance. He won't even come close. The only two people, frankly, at least right now, according to Napoleon, worth looking to. Is president Trump former president Trump and Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis doesn't even though run desantis does well in polling. His numbers are still relatively far off when it comes to Donald Trump, although, in some polls, it shows that he does beat him or is gaining sting. But here's the problem that most Republicans are going to run into. The base. The base. Donald Trump has a base where people will show up and vote for him. And the primary, but I think we have a problem as a whole as a Republican Party and that if we don't get election integrity down, if we don't get that issue wrapped up, I'm not sure that we can win in 2024. Period. I don't care if it's Trump. I don't care if it's desantis. This is something that Republicans must look into.

Charlie's Predictions Have Come to Fruition
"And we predicted that here on this stage a year ago when everyone was kind of full of doom and gloom. And if you ever want to go kind of revisit an hour of history, just go re listen to kind of the tour rob and I did at this church in Jack hidden church last year where we made a series of predictions. You might remember where I said they're going to overstep. They're not going to slow down. You're going to have to endure 2021. But if we keep the faith, it will then mean that the regime overreaches and it will be the rise of the citizen. And I'm telling you right now that what you're living through is everything that we thankfully predicted because we know the laws of nature and nature's God as Jefferson wrote in the declaration, but also there is a pattern to the tyrant. There is a rhythm to the autocrat. They're playing off the same blueprint of why Napoleon decided to invade Russia. It's because the enemy does not have the fruit of the spirit self control.

Fox's Brian Kilmeade Discusses His New Book 'The President and the Freedom Fighter'
"I'm talking to Brian kill me, you may know him from fox and friends, but he's written a lot of books. This one is called the president and the freedom fighter Abraham Lincoln Frederick Douglass in their battle to save America's soul. America soul could use a little saving right now. But we're not going to talk about that. What made you want to write a book combining these two figures? Well, I was looking for the last time I was here. You kind enough to interview me about Sam Houston, the Alamo Avengers. So I try to find an angle not plowed and the Alamo is, but San jacinto isn't 9 months later he ends up taking him out as San jacinto beating Santa Anna in 17 minutes because Texans know it, but the rest of the world. So I go, what's next? The Mexican war, I didn't think had enough. My opinion, I'm sure there's a lot there with Lee in the quartermaster grant and the fact that these generals fought on the same side and then years later, they'd be trying to kill each other and a lot of them successfully. I said, all right, the Civil War. What could I do that's not plowed ground from Ken burns a series to the remarkable book, David blight wrote about Frederick Douglas Scott? I think the book of the year, 5 years ago. And then what about Lincoln? I literally you and I gave the same situation. We get books about linking to our desks all the time, and they're all great. I'm waiting for nobody who's written been written about more. It's like maybe three people like who've written about Napoleon Jesus, Lincoln. I mean, I don't know how many books have been written about Lincoln. So yeah, what do you do for a fresh angle on the Civil War? So what I wanted to do is also I didn't mind tackling race, but I wanted to do it through quotes, not opinion. And racist never left the news, Black Lives Matter is raging at the time. And then you have you have a situation where as late as Condoleezza and rice Condoleezza Rice on the view, having to defend herself growing up in a Jim Crow south who knew all about racism, but grew up as his conservatives says, don't ever let it be an excuse. So I said, what have I talk about their parallel lives to the degree in which they read a lot of the same books? Did they overcame incredible obstacles? Nothing like Frederick Douglass. I get it. The guy was enslaved until he was in his 20 years old, two tries, got out in the second time within 7 years has a biography. It's a bestseller, and then starts a world tour and becomes famous in Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and England. This guy was a slave ten years before, but decides to come back to America because his 4 million enslaved 350,000 slave owners and he sees potential in this guy Lincoln and the Republican Party that we're finally ready to do

That's magazine will tell you if you look up other statistics you're gonna find eight hundred. Ten small businesses failed forbes. Eight at ten nine hundred ten businesses. Fail dear research tonight folks. Look that up but the first you have to recognize that most people are going to fail by default. So you have to become an intentional person so step one you have to define what success looks like. I mean what does success look like for your faith your family finances your fitness your friendship and your fun and napoleon hill once wrote that a goal is a dream with a deadline napoleon hill the bestselling author of thinking grow rich. You know the personal printers for andrew carnegie. He said that he's a goal is a dream with a deadline. So ask yourself right now. You know i. I have in removing to a forty acre property. Moving to a new building. Moving there i have to ask ourselves what does a successful man cave look like. What does it look like. I'm being serious. I'm telling the listeners out there. This is true a successful man cape books like this three quarters of my beautiful house. My wife has to approve. Of which means that. I will not like it. Because it's going to be boozy transitional and whatever that is but if she's happy i'm happy but then we go to the man cave. This is my family. My man cave has to feel like a dive bar. I have to have rustic. Beat up floors. I've got to have live edge. Would i gotta have a urinal. These are things. That i need jail.

I need a forty seven foot waterslide. So but if by default i just met with builders and said well do whatever you think i probably would not have a forty-seven i probably would not have a urinal in my bathroom. My wife would probably not have the existence that she wants. And i would probably not have enough land that i can buy all the yaks llamas and chickens that i want but i want you accent llamas and somebody else listening to says you're sick. You're crazy. well. I might be crazy. I might be a modern billy madison. But the point is ladies and gentlemen you have to define. What are your goals for your faith your family your finances your fitness your friendship your fun and you have to ask yourself. How much does that cost per year.

The morning i would protect you. How sporty good morning john. I'm doing well thank you now. Are you a history. Major will your life and you. You wrote this book about napoleon. i tell all america. back december so A lot of people know a little bit about napoleon. his epoch downfall at at the battle of waterloo or his disaster in russia more his meteoric rise after the french revolution. But so this book takes place in the heart of the the famous napoleonic wars where three protagonists in the story from the from the first book which is set in the french revolution reign of terror. All that They find themselves having survive this empire and things you know. The book progresses start to unravel as epic dra- backdrop shifts with napoleon's ambitions and his his fortune into what happens over description. One of the one of the major plotlines is Was actually inspired by the real life origins of the rothschild family fortune. Back at the start of the nineteenth century. And there's a. There's this legend that one of the rothschilds agents witnessed napoleon's defeat at waterloo. And how he kind of manipulated that the short the london stock exchange back in eighteen. Fifteen but there's There's actually an origin store that dates back a little earlier to when napoleon was in the midst of conquering crusher which is modern day germany and involves a hidden treasure and smuggling a fortune across the lions during the napoleonic wars. And so there's there's three characters there's one in the napoleonic wars. There's a lawyer who survived the the french revolution and the reign of terror in the previous story. And then there's a third of character who's at home in normandy managing her family's estate and i don't want to go to give too much away beyond that. But it's it's an exciting and epic backdrop for these for these characters for sure tussled y you have interest in polian and as a youngster going to school so to be honest like like you mentioned. I was a history major in college of always had a fascination in history politics couldn't avoid because of who my dad was as you can guess but i've always had a fascination with it. My mother's mother actually came from france. She was originally from france and married a an army officer. An american army officer in world war two so anyway. Sh- she kinda exposed me to a little bit of french culture. She would speak language. And i really just developed fascination in this time period and the the french revolution especially because a lot of ways kind of mirrored the american revolution and the founding of this country but in other ways it really went off the rails into this violent turbulent. You know you know about the guillotine you know about you know the reign of terror robespierre all that sounds really just fascinated and kinda curious as to how how that could could devolve the way it did and how much how much bloodshed came of that. So that was kind of my first interest in after studying a little bit. I started to kind of put. These characters develop together and develop the the plot line and the story and it just kind of you know grew organically from there. What is the name of the book and where they can buy. So the name of the book is searchers and winter. A novel of napoleon's empire was written by myself and it is available on amazon. Barnes and noble you can pre-order it now and it comes on sale in physical form on may eighteenth next to and use some unique words before you the words. It's novel how does it differ from regular. Well really. I mean you. Can you can a fictional story in any time period and it can be compelling if you have a good story and if you have good characters this is you know. It's it's an action adventure story. I i was inspired. Let's say by alexandre dumas stories. You know the count of monte cristo Victor hugo's les miserables. Charles dickens detail two cities which are all authors that attendees really interesting exciting but very human tails you know in in french. History european history. So this is. This is a story that set in france in eight starts in eighteen. O six but you know so. It's a fictional to fictional story but it set in the context of a very very epic and very exciting time in history. And and whenever. I can kind of blend history and and you know a good story.

The desire to conform to what other people say and do is a very strong driver. We have a fear of being thrown out of the tribe.

"Have have you a method by which you can shield yourself against the negative influences of others. Do you have a method. He's asking you not if there are no negative influences in your life because we're going to assume that they exist but do you have a method for shielding yourself from them. So i'm going to give you a few ideas here to help you think creatively one is if you can't remove yourself from the environment of being with people who are negative influence on you which by and large you can okay. So let's start there. Have you taken action yet to remove yourself from situations that put you in the same room. Same environment as people who are negative influence on you and the negative influence looks differently to different people. It could just be their energy or their mindset. It might be that. They drink too much or they are blowing off work or they're not going after their goals or their people who complain all the time. I don't know what the negative influences for you but if you feel like someone is dragging you down. Consider if you've put yourself in that environment and you have choice. Stop hanging out there. put yourself in different environments yet too busy with your goals that you couldn't possibly be in that environment anymore but let's say you're at that thanksgiving dinner year with your family and uncle. Joe has a bad attitude. And you don't actually want to not be at the thanksgiving dinner. That's not the choice that you're making. What do you do. Then well you nod your head and smile and you you. You put a little energetic barrier around yourself you also can deflect okay this is a perfect time for deflection when you doing the work on yourself the perfect time for reflection but this this is the perfect time for reflection. You change the subject. That's what it looks like here when joe starts talking politics and it doesn't agree with you. New start talking about you know where he's taking his next vacation or what he's doing at his lake houses..

Okay the next question in this list of self analysis questions by napoleon hill is have you learned how to quote. Drown your troubles by being too busy to be annoyed by them now. This is not a call to action to be over busy overwhelmed doing too much in one day being in a state of panic stress and urgency all the time. This is not functional. You do not want to function like this but this is a question of. Are you not putting your time attention energy to what you desire to growing your business growing yourself growing. What's required to achieve your goals if you have idle time to stay in rumination and complaint. You're gonna wanna look at that. You're gonna want to ask yourself. Is this really where. I wanna spend my energy where i wanna put my energy. Wouldn't you be better served putting your energy towards your business your goals your life your purpose. If you are stuck in rumination pause for moment and go into problem solving mode make take some time. Whatever time it takes maybe takes thirty seconds. Maybe takes you fifteen minutes but figure out. How am i going to solve for. Whatever i'm ruminating over whatever. I am in that place in my head where i'm looping over. He done me wrong. She done me. Wrong complaint complaint complaints step out of the complaint figure out the solution to it. Make a quick decision on that and then go take action on it immediately. That is the solution. Close the gap on time and make that happen for yourself. That is the way to be much more productive and lock your mind to negative.

Everyone is really unhappy at work and so in order to fit in. You do the same thing. That's an existing external negative influence for us to take a look at that today. Is there any one or are there a number of people by whom you're influenced that keep you from really stepping into an occupation that you love is the community that you're in saying no we all hate our jobs you should too.

"Doing is is on a very unconscious level. Making us feel believe think that our security is dependent on a single other person. Yes we need the community. Yes we need other people. If you're in business you know that you need other people you need other people to help you run your business. You need other people in the form of clients to and customers to buy from you in order to be in business. You need other people. But you don't need a single person whether that is a the romantic levin your life or the client. This fear of the loss of single person is a misunderstanding of security. And that is. What's at play fundamentally here with the fear of the loss of love for the bonus content for this episode. I want to go back to the concept of getting sick as a way of stopping so we need to use our discernment here because sometimes we're really sick. Right scars just a cigar and sometimes it's the power of the subconscious. Mind getting us to stop so if we believe that. This is a reason to stop we do. But what if it wasn't what if you said to yourself. I'm not stopping now. This is not. i'm not advocating. For being superwoman. Here not advocating for running yourself down. I'm not advocating for not taking time to rejuvenate to really support yourself. I'm not advocating for mistreating yourself. But what if you have a pattern of stopping when you get a headache when you get sick when you get tense when your shoulders hurt when you're knee hurts. Whatever your pattern is what if you explored if this is true for you and it needn't really just break your leg. I'm not saying break your leg and believed that you didn't break your leg but test this out. We know that there's the placebo effect and that it's real. This is the power of the subconscious. Mind it will. It will execute on what it believes to be the truth. There's also the no cbo if you don't believe something is going to work whether it's real medicine or real help in some other aspect of your life. You won't believe.

"Until i stopped. And it's not that. I don't drink wine now or have any problem with it but i recognized that i was covering up a issue in my life. Which was that. I wasn't happy while i was working. And that was the cause. So one cause can be lack of happiness. And and i think would say behind underneath that you're creating a situation in which you actually feel bad and you don't wanna feel bad so you have this fear a fearing feeling bad right at the end of the day. Let me see if i can make this a coherent thought guys you at the end of the day. You don't feel good. You have a fear about not feeling good. That's ill health so you you medicate. You have the glass of wine you self medicate and you might do this with something else. Besides buying made me smoke pot. Maybe you take psychedelics. Maybe you're always having an aspirin or something like that. But think about how this all connects and decide for yourself. What's acceptable for you with regard to self self-medication and what how you'd like to participate in that if you participate in it good morning and welcome to another great day with the morning. Mindset club alvarez. And let's get started. We are on the fourth fear in the chapter on how to outwit the six ghosts. Fear this is chapter fifteen so the fourth fear is the fear of loss of love. And he'll says the original source of this inherent fear needs but little description because it obviously grew out of man's polygamous habit of stealing his fellow man's mate and his habit of taking liberties with her whenever he could well. Maybe that's true. Maybe it's not wh- let's let's talk about what is is in contemporary time from my perspective. This is a big one. It's not something to overlook and that is because people need other people for survival. We are in this game in this universe in this life together. We need each other now. Does that mean you can't go often become an outdoors survivalists and live off the grid by yourself. No you probably could. But it's the rare person who is actually happy fulfilled and living out their purpose in life in isolation like that so for the large majority of us. We are social creatures. We need other humans to feel alive and human and live out our purpose not just on a spiritual level not just on a mental emotional level but also on a physical level.

"Make that real for you and your your knee does heal itself quote unquote. Okay now that can happen in reverse if you don't wanna do something because it's it's challenging you it's causing you to confront your your self image or identity. Who think you are your self worth level your big fears your beliefs about what's possible for you. If if the thing that you need to do in your business is causing you to confront that. It's very easy for your subconscious to go. She doesn't want to do that. That's that's going to be danger if she faces that. Let's let's get her sick. let's wear her. Let's give her a headache. And you know the answer to this is that you have to go do the thing anyway regardless of the headache regardless of whether you're sick if this is your pattern you actually have to prove to yourself that you're going to do the thing even though your sick now that goes against so much of the way were culturally brought up to say we need. If we're sick we get to stop. It's time to rest now. This is not a one size. Fits all thing if this is not your pattern of stopping how you get yourself to stop. Don't listen to this advice. This is not for you when you get sick. You need to rest okay. But for those of us who used this who used this as a way of stopping you need actually keep going through that so that you prove to yourself that you won't stop. I am not speaking to the people who work through sickness already and make themselves even more so that is not who i'm talking to. I am talking to those of you. Who when you are going for more you get sick. You're the ones that have to do it anyway. Good morning and welcome to another great day with the morning mindset club. I'm amira alvarez in let's get started okay next up in our list of the symptoms of the fear of illness and this is the last one in. The list is intemperance. The habit of using alcohol or narcotics to destroy pains such as headaches neural neurology. Ah that is just nerve pain etc instead of eliminating the cons so this is really important. Are you covering up the symptom that you're feeling the pain that you're feeling instead of looking at what causes this now. We have culturally acceptable ways of drinking alcohol. That are very widely accepted so having class wine at the end of the day going out to drinks with people having a drink at dinner having some beer when you're watching the football game on sunday. These are all culturally acceptable ways of drinking and i have zero judgment about it and if you recognize that when you do this you are actually trying to self medicate. That is a symptom of a fear of illness. And you need to actually deal with the cause to the qasr is the fear of illness or sometimes. Let's let's break this down a little bit further. You've had a hard day years dressed you dealt with a lot but you don't know how to shift gears from your workday to your relax time so you pour yourself a glass of wine. I know i used to have a glass of wine after work every day.

"Said to myself self. I'm an unavailable for that. That is not going to happen. And i get could rest. I take care of myself hydrate. I do all the things. And i never get sick. Which is fascinating to me. Because other times i will if. There's no reason not to get sick if you will an obviously there's always a good reason not to get sick but maybe i should have said a good enough reason or a level of urgency. That isn't there. I will won't have that. Same level of this is not happening right now and inevitably get sick. I find that fascinating that your ability to resist being sick is so dependent on how you think about it. And you can change your susceptibility to sickness. And i would give you that as something to play with yourself. How susceptible are you allowing yourself to be in regards to getting sick. Getting worn down getting even getting a headache so consider that today. Good morning and welcome to another great day with the morning mindset club. I'm mirror alvarez. And let's get started. We are on the list of symptoms of the fear of ill. Health next step hill says self coddling the habit of making a bid for sympathy using imaginary illness as the lur people often resort to this trick to avoid work. Pay attention to that. People often resort to this trick to avoid work the habit of feigning illness to cover plane laziness or just serve as an alibi for lack of ambition. This is a big one guys. I often talk to my clients. About what is there stopping. Pattern what is their pattern. Their unique way of saying. I can't do that right now. I can't do the thing that i need to do. In order to breakthrough and for many people it is something to do with getting sick and that is exactly what hill is saying here. The habit of feigning illness to avoid plane laziness. Sometimes you actually do get ill and it's not feigning it's an actual you got the cold you got the flu. You have the temperature that the monitor says one or two one three. You are actually sick. You do have the headache and yet it's your pattern for stopping and just like the placebo. Effect can make us. Well we can also and that's your subconscious mind going. Oh my god. I got the knee surgery. I'm better now. I'm gonna. It's gonna take four weeks of rehab. And then i'm going to be better in six weeks eight weeks. I'll be able to run again right now by the way. I just made up that timeline. I've no idea what the actual recovery time line is for knee surgery. But your subconscious believes that you've got the the surgery so you you go act as if you're on your way to better health and your knee actually does get better because you believe it and your subconscious than drives all the systems in your body to.

"He say that. Well because it was brought on by thought alone so you can change the result by changing the thought very straightforward there hypochondria. A medical term for imaginary disease is said to do as much damage on occasion as the disease. One fears might do most so-called cases of quote nerves. Come from imaginary illness. So it's important here to recognize that the fear of being sick thinking that you are sec can create that damage in your experience in your body and we know this on the positive flip side which is the placebo effect giving people sugar pills telling them that you know we Did surgery on your knee. When in fact there was no medication given it was just a sugar pill and they just put someone under made an incision it back up and off they went. The person believes that something positive has occurred. Something that is going to fix them has occurred in. Their mind is set on that new outcome. And that is what their subconscious mind programs their body to respond to an people have gotten better both with the sugar pill and with the surgery when in fact nothing new was given to them. No no change in the way the the knee was working was was done in that surgery. This is the power of your subconscious. Mind and it's extraordinary so you've got to ask yourself. Are you letting it work for you or against you. Are you looking for things that are wrong in your physical health. That are often your physical health and building a story around that. And how could you let that go. What would you need to do to release that. Good morning and welcome to another great day with the morning. Mindset club. i'm alvarez in. let's get started so next up on this list of the symptoms of the fear of ill. Health is an interesting one at least to me. It is exercise hill. says exercise. fear of ill-health often interferes with proper physical exercise and results in overweight by causing one to avoid outdoor life. I find that interesting so here. He saying that if you are afraid of getting sick or hurt because you're outside in the world whether that's walking the streets of new york and getting the germs or being on the subway in getting the germs and of course right now we do have some serious virus going around.

"Have to be someone who owns themselves in business and not be someone who is meek and small and afraid and in this case afraid of criticism okay. Next step is the habit of accepting defeat without protest. Do you just give up. Where do you where do you stop. You gotta call yourself out on that okay. You must fight. He must fight for what you want now. Sometimes people have a hard time. When i use the word fight or hard work or put the effort in. But guess what whether it's changing your thinking or taking new action. You have not done the thing that's going to get you the results that you want yet and you must become that person in you you have to fight for it meaning you have to own it meaning you have to clean it and in the beginning sometimes. It does feel like pushing a boulder at the helm eventually. Get you to a place where you're not in the struggle around it. It's just the next thing you need to do. And you go do it but there. Isn't that mental emotional struggle to it. Okay quitting undertaking when opposed by others. That's a big one. Where do you do that suspicious of other people without 'cause that's a good one word to that. Where do you trust people now without cause is an interesting one because generally speaking people are suspicious but they feel like they have caused they think they have cause and yet generally speaking they don't if they they stepped out of their beliefs structure out of their limited thinking they would realize that they have an inaccurate perspective on the situation and there was no need to be suspicious. But it's very hard to recognize that when you're inside of it next up lacking in tactfulness manner in speech and then unwillingness to accept the blame for mistakes so that's not taking personal responsibility. You have to learn how to take personal responsibility. It's one of the biggest growth exercises that you can put yourself through very very very critical. Good morning and welcome another great day with the morning mindset club. I'm mira alvarez and let's get started. We are in chapter fifteen in thinker rich by napoleon hill on in the chapter on how to outwit the six ghosts. Fear in the next ghost of fear is the fear of ill. Health and hill says in the main man fears ill health because of the terrible pictures which have been planted in his mind of. What may happen if death should overtake him. He also fears it because of the economic toll which it may clean. I would add there that it's not just.

"We are on the symptoms of the fear of criticism in the chapter on how to outwit the six ghosts of fears by napoleon hill and extravagance is the next symptom so not because but the symptom of the fear of criticism that hill goes into and he says extravagance the habit of trying to keep up with the joneses spending beyond one's income. Okay so again super interesting here super interesting here because it all depends on your come from meaning the energy behind action so there is a fear of not being enough a deep void that you might need to be filling that you do through spending a lot that is not use for if you will. That is not healthy. That is not functional. That is a fear of criticism. That's a fear of not being enough and other people are going to judge me so i need to fill that void and buy a bunch of stuff. Okay dad's not healthy. That's not functional. That can cause a lot of pain. And if that's something you're you're in right now just have a lot of compassion and grace for yourself as you figure out how to work your way out of that There is a way out of that. And if you want help please let me know. There is another side to this. Though that i wanna share with you that i'm pointing it out so that you don't get confused in the situation. There is stretching yourself in your business in your life in the kinds of investments. That you're making these are not things that quote cost you money. Meaning take money. Look like you're gonna lose it. These are investments so you might be investing in your environment the kind of house or home that you live in helped. So many clients think up the concept of claiming their environment claiming the the house that they wanna live in with their business success. And that. I've had client recently to clients recently upgrade the parts that they're living in one in la and one in new york and their next level like this one woman in new york was saying and guess what they pay for your movers at this apartment and she was so thrilled that next level of being this. And it's not surprising. Now this is not a correlation. But it's a connection. It's not surprising. She felt better about herself and bigger about herself and then went on to do more in her business and has made a stunningly larger amount of money subsequent to this move she claimed something bigger for herself and then she backed it up with the action. So it's not without the action. It's not magic sprinkles. It's not Staring at your your navel and wishing the money to drop in that's frivolous okay. That's not taking personal responsibility. But if you say. I want something more i'm willing and it's extravagant to you right. Like she was saying well. I could just be stay in this apartment and i could. I mean she was even talking about having roommates. And there's a time and a place for having roommates for sure. But she for her. That was not the next step for her. Next step was going to this magnificent apartment of her own cleaning it furnishing it. Beautifully and dot felt like an extravagance to her but she claimed it it stepped up her vibration and then she took the action to earn more revenue in her business. That apartment gave her not just the reason to earn more but raised her vibration and showed her that she was worthy of more. And this happens whether it's an apartment or house..
